Critical Laundering: a roundtable discussion

01 August. Free entry.

We are seeking expressions of interest for Critical Laundering, a roundtable discussion in response to our current exhibition Bootleg with visiting curator Billy Tang.

This discussion will draw on histories of counterfeiting, ideas of censorship and authorship, and parasitic or ad-hoc economics. Participants are invited to be in dialogue with Tang around these topics, thinking about how they might be useful tools for future or recent projects.

This opportunity is for curators, artists and other contemporary arts practitioners based in Ōtautahi.  Please email james@physicsroom.org.nz with an expression of interest and a brief background to your practice.

He was previously the Senior Curator at Rockbund Art Museum, Shanghai, and Curatorial Director at Magician Space in Beijing.
