Armory Center for the Arts in collaboration with Arts Research Cooperative brings you this free video screening in our Community Room.
Production Values features artists who investigate ways that popular culture normalizes state violence. Using their own proximity to media as a tool, each artist uses different strategies to lay bare a violence that is often masked by entertainment. Combining humor, appropriation, essayistic digressions, and strategies borrowed from documentary film, these works ask viewers to reconsider our own role in our mediatized landscape. What could it look like to resist this normalization? How can the ways we look shift? What does resistance look like on the couch, in the living room, in the movie theater?
Participating artists include Maura Brewer, Abigail Raphael Collins, Vishal Jugdeo, Paul Pescador and Sable Elyse Smith.
