‘AV’ exhibit at Schindler House

‘AV’ exhibit at Schindler House, new works by Andrea Fraser and Vanessa Place, Wednesday, Apr. 9.  Artist walkthrough at 6:30 p.m. followed by the opening reception 7 p.m.- 9 p.m.  Exhibit runs through June 1.  Admission to the opening reception is free.  Fraser will attempt to activate some of the structural relations between museums and prisons as the bookend institutions of polarized neoliberal social space. Place debuts her installation, Last Words, about which she writes: “Death is a sentence. Silently handed to each of us, spoken aloud to others.” Both works prompt the viewer–or in this case, the listener­–to ask questions about the notions of absence, presence, power, individuality, freedom, and subjectification. Curated by Kimberli Meyer.
