After a year of moving through Walter Benjamin’s The Arcades Project with IATP, convolute by convolute, this exhibition emerges from questions around collecting, commodities, memory, and the strange lives of objects.
Benjamin returns often to the figure of the collector: one who withdraws things from circulation and reorders them according to intimate logics of assembly. In this gesture, the object is released from economic function and enters narrative life.
The exhibition invites viewers to encounter things not as possessions to be acquired, but as forms carried across contexts, memories, and possible futures.
Time: 6:00 pm EST
Free!
