University Art Gallery, UCSD

Artist Ethan Breckenridge in conversation with curator Michelle Y. Hyun.  Together they will perform the artist-in-conversation-with-the-curator talk, discussing the project We’d love your company with and against Breckenridge’s artistic practice, the context of the University Art Gallery and the University as setting, notions of hospitality, and participatory formats and practices. What constitutes the Invitation?  Where does it come from?  Into   what are you/we being invited?  Why extend the invitation – now? What kinds of subjectivities does the Invitation produce?  Who are the hosts? Who are the guests?  Is the Invitation a feeble or powerful gesture? How might we bolster it or break it apart?  Audience participation is politely requested.
