The exhibition includes a survey of works from 2010 – present and launches a series of commissions, or “dispatches” on current events and the critical issues of our time.<\/span><\/p>\n The art works emerge from within and in defiance of today’s media landscape, ranging from real-time coverage to deliberately slow and analog forms. They enlarge our collective capacity to sensitively receive stories delivered in today’s unevenly regulated and fast flow of news. They decelerate the speed of information. Or, they organize collective efforts toward a more humanizing interaction.<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>Dispatches <\/span><\/i>public program features artist talks and live performances. Partnerships with Universities and a blog mentorship initiative with student Millennials will appear in the new media landscape that is the show’s defining context.An exhibition is a forum”\u201done of the few public commons designed to cultivate our ethical and civic capacities to grapple with what is happening in our world. <\/span>Dispatches<\/span><\/i> invites you to enliven this forum and say something.\u00c2\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Artists and Collectives: <\/span>Doug Ashford, Rossella Biscotti, Sayler\/Morris (The Canary Project), Mel Chin, Damon Davis, Electronic Disturbance Theater 2.0\/b.a.n.g. lab, Hasan Elahi, For Freedoms, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Stacey L.
