Blackwood Gallery

Veranstalter von Here, Better, Now

The Blackwood is committed to thinking about the gallery as a space for living ideas—for holding together research, creation, inquiry, interaction, and conversation. We ask questions and offer a diagnosis of our contemporary times in essay-exhibitions, discursive events, commissioned artistic works, performances, publishing platforms, and educational projects. We offer visitors opportunities to grapple with the conflicts, challenges, and questions of our time: How do our respective living conditions impinge upon each other? What kind of a future do we want to live in? How can we shape our world more intelligently, but also more poetically?
