Sunday, May 12–Sunday, May 26

The exhibitions—Any where, Oral Fixations, Slip , and High Performance: the First Five Years, 1978–1982—are organized by master's degree candidates in the Center's graduate program in Curatorial Studies.

Any where

Any where, curated by David Chan, brings together works by six artists and a filmmaker from Beijing, Buenos Aires, Glasgow, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and New York that explore the dislocating conditions of globalization. This exhibition investigates the artists' relationships to place—whether it is a place they travel through, a place they think of while away from home, a place they imagine, or a place they dwell in. Artists include Claire Barclay, Louise Hopkins, Guillermo Kuitca, LinYilin, Ellen Pau, Wong Kar-Wai, and Zhu Jia. Happy Together by Wong Kar-Wai will be screened on Tuesday, May 21, at 6:00 p.m. in the Weis Cinema of the Bertelsmann Campus Center.
