"Split Ends" Discussion
Dumbo Arts Center
This event has ended.
A.I.R. Gallery announces “Split Ends” a public panel with artists who come from places of conflict and/or whose work focuses on conflict. The panel will be held at the Dumbo Arts Center on Saturday, February 13 from 4pm to 6pm. The event brings together a diverse group of artists to meditate on issues of space and movement - both personal and national - in and across regions of violence and conflict, asking: How do images of space and movement in art manifest identity? Can art create an identity in a constant state of crisis?
The panel will be moderated by Michael Connor, (independent curator and founder of Marian Spore) and will include Neboja Seric Shoba, Mushon Zer Aviv, Hakan Topal, Sean Hemmermelle and Nivi Alroy. These artists work in a variety of media and disciplines: sculpture and installation, photography, new media and activism. In order to initiate a thread of creative exchange and mutual dialog between the artists and the audience the program will be presented in two parts. A brief visual presentation by each artist will be followed by a discussion among the panelists. The artists’ work will be examined in the context of critical issues from their regions including the presence of borders in an age of globalization and the (thin) line between art and activism.
