SUMMARY:Entire Nations Are Built on Fairy Tales: Larissa Sansour and Søren Lind
DESCRIPTION:New multi-media exhibition explores memory\, history\, and grief through science fiction and cinematic time travel.   \n\n\n\nOn view in Emerson College’s Media Art Gallery\, February 4 – March 22\, 2025. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBOSTON\, MA (January 15\, 2025) – Emerson Contemporary is proud to present Entire Nations Are Built on Fairy Tales\, featuring multi-channel films and a dramatic sculptural installation by Larissa Sansour and Søren Lind. On view in our Media Art Gallery are As If No Misfortune Had Occurred in the Night \, an Arabic-language opera on loss\, mourning and inherited trauma accompanied by a dramatic sculptural installation and a two-channel science fiction film\, In Vitro. A special one-night screening of the science fiction film In the Future They Ate from the Finest Porcelain (2016) and their latest documentary film Familiar Phantoms (2023) will augment the exhibition. \n\n\n\nIn much of their practice\, Sansour and Lind use fiction as an imaginary mode to speak to the present in a manner that diffracts the highly charged political discourse on the historic and ongoing crisis in the Middle East. By ‘time traveling’ to both a faraway past and fictionalised futures\, this exhibition explores how cinematic storytelling can open up new spaces for empathy and understanding of a shared human experience. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition is generously funded by the National Endowment for the Arts and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramming \n\n\n\nFilm Screening + Artist Conversation  \n\n\n\nCome view In the Future They Ate from the Finest Porcelain (2016) and Familiar Phantoms (2023). Filmmakers Larissa Sansour and Søren Lind will be in conversation with Emerson Assistant Professor and Filmmaker Julia Halperin afterwards.  \n\n\n\nFilm screening is co-presented with the RPM Film Festival and the Salem Film Fest. \n\n\n\n\nDate: Tuesday\, February 4\, 7-9:30pm. Doors open at 6:30pm.\n\n\n\nLocation: Bright Family Screening Room\, 559 Washington St. Boston\, Ma\, 02111\n\n\n\nRSVP required for tickets: EVENTBRITE\n\n\n\n\nArtist Reception + Conversation with Larissa Sansour\, Søren Lind and exhibition curator Dr. Leonie Bradbury  \n\n\n\n\nDate: Wednesday\, February 5\, 5-7pm.\n\n\n\nLocation: Media Art Gallery\, 25 Avery Street\, Boston\, Ma 02111\n\n\n\n\nAbout the artists: Larissa Sansour and Soren Lind are an artist duo who have collaborated on various films. They live and work in London. What underscores the significance of their work in the current context is the relationship between memory\, trauma and the present to envision a more peaceful future. In 2019 they represented Denmark at the 58th Venice Biennale. \n\n\n\nLarissa Sansour studied Fine Art in Copenhagen\, London and New York. Recent solo exhibitions include Whitworth Gallery in Manchester\, KINDL in Berlin\, Copenhagen Contemporary in Denmark and Dar El-Nimer in Beirut. Soren Lind is a Danish author and director and visual artist with a background in philosophy. Lind wrote books on mind\, language\, and understanding before turning to art\, film\, and fiction.

SUMMARY:Woop! Woop! What’s That Sound Noise? (Interactive Lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Presenting\, a workshop on Hip-Hop culture with Dr. Brent Smith \n\n\n\nBack in 1993\, Hip Hop culture had reached twenty years of life and was boldly making its way through emerging adulthood. Its emcees and other artists challenged boundaries on self-expression\, self-determination\, and even community. The soundtrack of our societies and our lives would come to make way for insights wrapped into Sound of The Police (KRS One)\, U.N.I.T.Y. (Queen Latifah)\, C.R.E.A.M. (Wu Tang Clan)\, Now I Feel Ya (Scarface)\, How Many Emcees (Black Moon)\, Streiht Up Menace (MNC Eiht)\, and more. Hip Hop of 1993\, arguably one of its greatest years\, prompted or provoked us like a siren: Woop! Woop! What’s That Sound Noise?  \n\n\n\nJoin us for a community talk led by Dr. Brent Smith as we explore this topic in relation to our current exhibit\, Louis Cameron: Now is the Time. \n\n\n\nEmerson Contemporary proudly presents Louis Cameron: Now is the Time\, featuring Billboards\, posters and text-based works that explore the civil rights movement\, gun violence and Hip Hop culture. The exhibition features several large-scale\, wall-mounted vinyl text pieces from the ongoing Hip Hop Onomatopoeia series\, a body of work that explores the conversation on gun violence within Hip Hop music.

SUMMARY:How to Commit Crimes Against Reality: ARTIST TALK with New Red Order
DESCRIPTION: *Doors open at 5:30pm \n\n\n\n“Do you want to realize your fullest potential? Be your truest self? Act with confidence? Attract abundance? Alleviate anxiety? Experience clarity? Know your purpose? Be the change you want to see? Be truly present? Experience real freedom? Change the world? Be a part of the solution? On some level\, we all want to feel this way\, but sometimes in our globalized\, capitalist\, settler-colonial society it feels impossible. Which is why the New Red Order is developing a dynamic system to help our accomplices achieve all of this and more. This sneak peek of our free introductory video\, Never Settle\, will tell you what you need to know to take control of your life today!” \n\n\n\nAs a part of New Red Order’s work in Emerson Contemporary’s off the pedestal multimedia installation\, the artist group will be conducting a workshop on September 27th\, from 2-3:30 pm at Emerson’s Media Art Gallery. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew Red Order’s large-scale video installation Culture Capture: Crimes Against Reality examines the contradictions inherent in a society built on both the longing for indigeneity and the violent erasure of Indigenous peoples. They base their critique on historical events\, and the pacing of the digitized imagery\, accompanied by skillful sound design\, transports viewers into their speculative reveries.
