Calendar

Inviting the public into dialogue with artists, theorists, researchers, critics, educators, and cultural workers, the Gallery’s events position exhibition making as a lens through which to examine today’s issues and debates. Recognizing the public’s sense for inquiry and experimentation, these workshops, lectures, screenings, tours and other interventions ask us to reflect critically upon the ways we look and the forces inflecting our experience. Welcoming and supporting different modes of public participation, the Gallery’s programming aims to make and hold space for new vectors of interpretation and inclusion.

LABOUR

A still shot from a video, the image has an old digital grain to it. We see the top of two buildings, that are smoking. We see a electric powerline in the middle of the image. There's a lot of smoke.

Ingrid Jones in conversation with Gabrielle Moser

Tuesday, March 10, 2026, 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM
Free, at the Milieux Institute, EV 11.455

In this lecture, Jones reflects on the conceptualization of the exhibition Labour and the challenge of rendering visible that which is routinely unseen. Drawing on both professional and lived experience, she considers the necessity of naming our labour; the cumulative toll of microaggressions and their embodied consequences; the persistent misreadings of Black rage; and the increasingly politicized terrain of rest as practice. In doing so, Jones situates her curatorial approach alongside that of Tina Campt, advancing discomfort not as a byproduct but as a deliberate and necessary condition of her praxis.

Facilitated by rosalind hampton

This facilitated session invites participants into a critical-creative writing practice inspired by Ingrid Jones’s exhibition, Labour. Through a reflective, embodied engagement with the artworks and curation of the show, we will playfully experiment with words towards the liberation of our labour and reclamation of our individual and collective life’s work.

SIGHTINGS 46:
A PLACE TO SIT

PERFORMANCE: A PLACE TO SIT
Philippe Battikha — trumpet & amplifier
Martín Rodríguez — radios & transmissions

Wednesday, March 25, at 2:15 PM and 5:15 PM
Begins at the SIGHTINGS cube, ground floor, Hall Building
Free

Through an ambulatory sound walk around the Hall Building, Rodríguez and Battikha will conjure past student protests that took place there through radio transmissions and amplified trumpet. Archival audio will resound in the spaces where it was once recorded, met and refracted by the building’s present-day sounds. This convergence of past and present will move from the ninth floor to the lobby, concluding with a sonic meditation on the act of sitting in the SIGHTINGS cube.

The performance will take place twice, at 2:15 pm and 5:15 pm.

This event is presented in conjunction with SIGHTINGS 46: A PLACE TO SIT, a project by Philippe Battikha & Martín Rodríguez on view on the ground floor of the Hall Building until May 17, 2026.
