Join us for a discussion workshop around Michèle Pearson Clarke’s artwork Quantum Choir. Participants will get the opportunity to reflect on the notion of vulnerability linked to the expression of their identity, and to transform this feeling into a space for encounter. You will then have a chance to explore the liberating, self-affirming potential of singing by taking part in a karaoke session.

Through contemporary art, we can project any manner of future worlds, be they hopeful or frightening. In connection with the exhibition The Pop of Life! and the video work Logic Paralyzes the Heart by Lynn Hershman Leeson, presented in collaboration with the MMFA, we invite you to attend a discussion on a time to come. In it, we will look at how artists across the ages have helped us imagine the future.

Conference open to all

Drawing on their research in the Museum’s archives, Séamus Gallagher will discuss the creative process behind their installation Mother Memory Cellophane. They will discuss how this latest creation fits into their larger body of work. The talk will be moderated by Morris Fox, whose artistic practice overlaps with Gallagher’s on several levels: queer aesthetics, identity, gender performativity and hauntology, to name but a few.

Activity in English. The discussion will be held on Zoom and livestreamed on the Museum’s Facebook page.
