The Vera List Center for Art and Politics, New York

A two-day exhibition, presented by the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School
In the current political environment saturated by political aggression and
segregation along various kinds of power lines, processes of reconciliation and
forgiveness have been strategically used as tactics for political and social
manipulations. For this two-day exhibition at The New School, artists were asked to
contribute a statement, video, image or text to address the Reestablishing of
Cordial Relations or Forgiveness in the context of their work and political
environment.
Organized by Andrea Geyer, the exhibition features works by artists Ayreen
Anastas/Rene Gabri, Nancy Brody, Matthew Buckingham, Discoteca Flaming Star
(Cristina Gomez Barrio & Wolfgang Mayer), Ulrike Feser, Benj Gerdes, Jennifer
Hayashida, Sharon Hayes, Maryam Jafri, Jesal Kapadia, H. Lan Thao Lam/Lana Lin,
Cristobal Lehyt, Tara Mateik, Ulrike Muller, Taisha Paggett/Ashley Hunt,
Katrin Pesch, Yvonne Rainer, Emily Roydson, James Tsang, Valerie Tevere, The
Speculative Archive (Julia Meltzer/David Thorne), and Urban Subjects (Sabine
Bitter/Jeff Derksen/Helmut Weber).
The Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School is dedicated to serving
as catalyst for the discourse on the role of the arts in society and their
relationship to the socio-political climate in which they are created. It seeks to
achieve this through the organization of public programs and forums that respond to
the pressing social and political issues of our time as they are being articulated
by visual and performing artists. The center engages the university community, the
people of New York, and national and international audiences in an exploration of
new possibilities for civic engagement. This exhibition is part of our year-long
investigation of "Considering Forgiveness."
