While immateriality, time and speed were the markers of the 20th century’s surge to global capitalism, “the annihilation of space by time” predicted by Karl Marx has not come to pass. Looking to works like Rebecca Belmore’s Biinjiya’iing Onji and Douglas Gordon’s I Had Nowhere to Go: A Portrait of a Displaced Person, jake moore will discuss how both critical spatial practices and new understandings of materiality are troubling the colonial present.
Free, everyone is welcome.

jake moore is an artist that works at the intersections of material, text and vocality. moore considers her primary medium to be space; this expands the understanding of her artistic practice to include administrative projects and other acts of building capacity as a sculptural method—one that changes the form and volume of public spaces.
