THE RADICAL IMAGINARY: THE SOCIAL CONTRACT

From September 13th till December 15th, 2018.

The Radical Imaginary: The Social Contract is the first project in a new series of exhibitions about the Institution and its history, seeking to understand how artists have either associated themselves with or been opposed to it, gradually inflecting its positions.

The judicial system is the institution studied in this initial component, curated by Marie J. Jean. The exhibition is complemented by a reading room exploring the history, uses and subversions of the artist contract, as well as a program of lectures, films and performances.

This exhibition is presented with the kind collaboration of the LABOR gallery, Paula Cooper Gallery, the Collection of Patrick and Lindsey Collins, the Walter and McBean Galleries of the San Francisco Art Institute, the Warkworth Institution, MAGNETFILM, Pointe-à-Callière, Artexte, Lisa Bouraly and Beat Raeber, Galerie.
