Postcards to AZ
New Museum, New York
A project of Programs for Research and Outreach, organized by Ayreen Anastas and Rene Gabri
As part of the current exhibition "Museum as Hub: In and Out of Context: Redux," artists present an evolving series of works, publications, events, and discussions. Ayreen Anastas, Rene Gabri, and Programs for Research and Outreach (PRO) present Project for a Revolution in New York, or How to arrest a Hurricane, which explores art's potential place in economic, national, and urban struggles. PRO seeks to activate a pool of artists, agitators, thinkers, and former or aspiring revolutionaries in order to develop a series of works and interventions within the museum and in the city. Postcards to AZ by Benj Gerdes and Jennifer Hayashida, will launch Block Party, the visitors are invited to write a postcard to their neighbors in AZ affected by the imminent implementation of SB1070 an Arizona law that allows police officers to check the immigration status of any person stopped for a separate cause.
