Charles Gaines Systems, Structures and the Politics of Subjectivity

Friday, 27 October 2017, 4 pm

This Power Talk will cover a survey of the work of Charles Gaines, from his early work in systems and numerals to his most recent work with language and representation. Hear a discussion on the ways in which Gaines’ works rethink notions of subjectivity and how these notions are manifested in works of art. Gaines will also speak about the fine difference between chance and arbitrary judgments — on the one hand being expressive and institutional, and on the other sharing the characteristic of being indeter- minate — and how works of art can uniquely interrogate this difference.
