Dispatches

November 1, 2016 - February 19, 2017 - Dispatches gathers and generates artistic responses to the news by 28 contemporary artists and photojournalists. The exhibition includes a survey of works from 2008 – present and launches a series of commissions, or “dispatches” on current events.

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 current events 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.
