INAUGURAL PROJECT
EXPANDING EXHIBITIONS RESIDENCY
Establishing a Database Connection
Residents: Gavin Park & Kristina Vannan
Part exhibition framework experimentation, part interface design interrogation, Establishing a Database Connection investigates how the digital file database of the Leonard & Bina Ellen (LBE) Gallery’s collection can be activated beyond the pure intention of data preservation and storage.
This residency, in partnership with the Departments of Art History and of Design and Computation Arts, was made possible by the generosity of art historian Reesa Greenberg.

The work in collaboration with the gallery’s team to develop an exhibition that critically explores questions related to each one’s artistic practice.
CURATORIAL INTERNSHIP
Ashley Raghubir is this winter’s curatorial intern. Ashley’s primary research interest is Afrofuturism in contemporary art, an emerging movement which holds great potential for explorations and assertions of black identity and experience. Speculative imaginings of future worlds offer the opportunity to both reflect on past and present conditions of oppression, as well as envision more equitable and liberatory futures. Relatedly, her curatorial interests are public programming as research and pedagogy and critical curating based in social justice and activism.
