Opening reception: August 7, 6 pm, via Zoom
Performance by Amelia Bande, El Estallido / The Outbreak, 6:30 pm, via Zoom

Through video, installation, sculpture, poetry, performance, and archival documentation, the works in After La vida nueva explore constructions of self and nation by sifting through the unstable terrain of the past. Drawing on histories and archives of feminist, queer, and Third World liberation movements and responding to the uneven forces of neoliberalization, the artists suggest the pursuit of a new life that is concomitant with new ways of being together.

The exhibition features works by Amelia Bande, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Electronic Disturbance Theater 2.0/b.a.n.g. lab, Renée Green, Rummana Hussain, Caroline Key, Alan Michelson, Rashaad Newsome, Catalina Parra, Cici Wu, and Raúl Zurita.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, After La vida nueva consists of an expanded catalogue, available for download, and an online component, hosted by Artists Space, where a weekly series of “spotlights” of different works in the exhibition will include screenings, archival documents, images, and text:

August 8 – 15: Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Renée Green, Caroline Key, and Cici Wu
