To refuse/ To wait/ To sleep (2017)
To refuse/ To wait/ To sleep
Group Exhibition
Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery
Vancouver, Canada
Curated by Lorn Brown
January 13 - April 9, 2017
To refuse/To wait/To sleep and M&A bring together work by Goldin+Senneby, Melanie Gilligan, Gabrielle Hill, Richard Ibghy & Marilou Lemmens, Marianne Nicolson and Raqs Media Collective to investigate belief and prediction in economic models, precarious labour and illicit and marginalized markets. Speculative and experimental, their work tests models, forecasts futures and examines histories of exchange and the limits of productivity. In the context of knowledge-based economies, student debt and the outsourcing of intellectual labour, the exhibition aims to draw forth dialogues about how we imagine individual and collective futures in the “new normal.”
Work presented: The Prophets.
