Inaction is a new sculptural and performance-based installation by Brendan Fernandes. This exhibition consists of sculptural elements, platforms and a double channel video projection, Free Fall: For Camera. Working in collaboration with the architecture and design firm Norman Kelley, he designed mobile dance supports and platforms for activation by the audience and dancers. In public performances throughout the exhibition, his choreography guides dancers to interact with the minimalist sculptural installations, giving them agency to rearrange the sculptures and allowing for new spaces in which to create movements.

This exhibition is presented in partnership with the Ezra and Cecile Zilkha Gallery at Wesleyan University.

Featuring a new body of work created by interdisciplinary media artists Nancy Lee and Kiran Bhumber, UNION is a speculative sci-fi exhibition centred around a narrative of two beings discovering their ancestral memories through the longing for touch and the rituals practiced in their post-apocalyptic wedding ceremony. The exhibition incorporates XR, performance, sculpture, multi-channel sound and video installation. Drawing on parallels between our world and the speculative future while working through the artists’ diasporic identities, UNION is a potent critique of modern surveillance capitalism, but also a gesture towards hope through the generative possibilities of intimacy, performativity and presence.

This exhibition is co-presented by Cinevolution Media Arts Society and Richmond Art Gallery.
