Starting May 28th until June 21st, I will be moving into the Glass Gallery at the Palo Alto Art Center as an artist-in-residence. During this period I will be working on a solo exhibition that opens June 21st, and includes a multimedia installation, a performance act for two dancers and concludes with a culinary participative event August 17th. The project is the launchpad for a wider and longer-term initiative that explores the potential of a domestic space and in particular the dinner table to provide a platform that can spark ideas and conversations about resistance, protest and revolution. The public engagement programming will invite talks, workshops, events and impromptu acts that evolve over time and will form a dynamic art publication with contributions from curators, sociologists, artists and writers. Information about the main and satellite events, locations and participative workshops will be shared here, on my instagram account and at the Palo Alto Art Center website and newsletter. Links to book specific events visit the Palo Alto Art Center website May 28 - August 18, 2024 I Live performance June 21st, 7p.m.
