In anticipation of the opening of So You Want to See, Brian Kuan Wood will join the curators What, How & for Whom to discuss the exhibition with Sanja Iveković, OKO, and Cecilia Vicuña.
For decades, feminist writers have critically analyzed the way regimes of representation take hold of mainstream media to the extent that they are not recognized as representations at all. But any assumed position of power over the productivity of visuality is subject to constant struggle and renegotiation. Through their distinct approaches, the artists in the exhibition build alternative projects for seeing, attempting to activate images from the opposite side in order to denaturalize and estrange them—to produce new ways of seeing other than mere observing.
So You Want to See opens on Friday, April 17.
