Exhibitions and Events

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.

Slip

Slip, curated by Elizabeth Fisher, is an exhibition about identity. Video, film, and photographic works by Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Jo Lansley and Helen Bendon, and Anneè Olofsson explore the boundaries of subjectivity, and the ways in which personal relationships influence our sense of self. A reading of Samuel Beckett's Text for Nothing No. 12 will take place during the opening reception of the exhibition on Sunday, May 12, at 3:00 p.m.
