On the Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Period of Time

On the Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Period of Time showcases “project-based” work by artists influenced by Mary Kelly, with her film WLM Demo Remix as its thesis. It explores historical moments of resistance, framed within an intergenerational and historically specific discourse. Inspired by Kelly’s online conversation at Tate Modern in 2015, the exhibition delves into the transmission of collective desire and historical memory. The exhibition is organized in coordination with the release of Mary Kelly’s Concentric Pedagogy: Selected Writings, edited by Juli Carson and published by Bloomsbury Press. 

Artists: Mary Kelly, Sharon Hayes, Every Ocean Hughes (born Emily Roysdon), Damir Avdagic, Abigail Collins, 
Kerry Tribe, Latipa (born Michele Dizon), Karl Haendel, Meleko Mokgosi
