We are excited to announce a new guest speaker to the line-up for Rethinking Illness: Art, Health, and the Environment - Mary Mattingly is an artist working in varied forms of sculpture and photography focusing on environmental, economic and political change. Her most recent project, Swale (pictured here), is a floating food forest built atop a barge that travels to piers in New York City. Please join us on June 29 at SVA for this interdisciplinary symposium on art, illness, and environmental activism, organized by CUE Public Programming Fellow Jeff Kasper. It is free and open to the public! Check our website for more information.
This Saturday, June 23rd, at 2pm Sheida Soleimani will be giving a tour of her solo exhibition, "Medium of Exchange," curated by Kate Shepherd. Matthew Biro writes that "Soleimani disrupts political and economic power through appropriation, photomontage, and irony, creating visual allegories that both document and criticize official agents and events."

Join Sheida Soleimani on Saturday, June 23rd, at 2pm for a gallery tour and discussion of her solo exhibition, Medium of Exchange, curated by Kate Shepherd. The exhibition presents sculptural photographic tableaus that address the relationship between dictatorships and the petroleum industry at a time when oil has become a form of international currency and a source of warfare. As Shepherd puts it, "Bring your notebook if you ever hear Sheida talk about the politics of oil trade; she is incredibly well-versed." #CUEart #SheidaSoleimani #MediumofExchange

Sheida Soleimani: Medium of Exchange. From the catalogue essay by Emily Watlington: "The title of the series, "Medium of Exchange," reframes oil as a form of international currency. It is “black gold,” a liquid asset in the literal, material sense. The substance slithers across geopolitical contexts, but our experience charting its path is a mediated one—experienced through fragments of news bites rather than as a clear and direct narrative. Looking at the work, I can’t help but thinking of the black oil as a lubricant—a substance enabling global promiscuity and complex power dynamics, resulting in pure joy for some but utter abuse for others."
