A.K. Burns’ Prepositions of the Future
The Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery, New York, NY
This exhibition worked with artifacts from artist A.K. Burns’ ten year epic Negative Space to link a re-articulation of a politics of representation to the ongoing contemporary environmental crisis.
Accompanying the exhibition was a speaker series which featured a presentation with A.K. Burns, as well as a talk by historian and theorist Jack Halberstam. A short publication on A.K. Burns’ work was published by Columbia University’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and The Wallach Art Gallery.
