SUMMARY:A.K. Burns: A Slow Rearrangement of Desires
DESCRIPTION:September 25\, 2017 – 7pm\nPlug In Institute of Contemporary Art\n\nIn anticipation of our fall exhibition Entering the Landscape\, opening on September 30th\, 2017\, Plug In Institute of Contemporary Art is extremely pleased to present an artist talk with Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist and educator\, A.K. Burns. \nOn Monday\, September 25th at 7pm\, Burns will speak about her current project\, Negative Space. For her talk titled ‘A Slow Rearrangement of Desires’ Burns will unravel the links between her recent body of work and camping in Utah\, new materialism\, access to resources and disdain for speed and newness\, the current political apocalypse\, collaboration\, and previous projects. This interweaving of land and body follows many of the same lines of inquiry as Leave No Trace\, the sound and text-based installation that Burns will present as her contribution to Entering the Landscape. \n\nA. K. Burns uses video\, sculpture and installation to querie the socio-political constructs that give form and meaning to contemporary notions of the body. Her current project\, Negative Space is a cycle of five video installations that take speculative fiction as a point of departure. Burns is a prolific artist\, respected thinker and educator and was recently selected as the artist in residence at the New Museum (spring 2017). Her work has been exhibited internationally with shows at the New Museum\, NY; the Tate Modern\, London; The Museum of Modern Art\, NY; The Sculpture Center\, NY; and Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, CA. Burns was a 2016-17 Radcliffe Fellow at Harvard University and a recipient of a 2015 Creative Capital Foundation Visual Arts Award. Burns currently teaches at Hunter College Graduate Department of Art & Art History\, and in the Sculpture Department at NYU Steinhardt. \n\nThis talk is programmed in conjunction with Entering the Landscape \n(October 1 to December 31\, 2017)\nOpening Reception: Saturday September 30 | 8pm to 1am\nPanel Discussion: Saturday september 30 | 1pm to 3pm \n  \nPia Arke • Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory  • Jaime Black • Lori Blondeau • A.K.

Working in film and video\, photography\, sculpture\, and performance these artists represent a breadth of politicized contemporary and iconic historical works that place the female or queer body in the landscape. Bringing together artworks that conceptually and aesthetically overlap\, this exhibition identifies and considers a persistent motif in contemporary art. \n\n\n\nAll public programming is free and open to the public.
