Freedom in a Platform reopens The Luminary’s reconfigured galleries on March 8th, 2019 with a group show exploring alternate ways of inhabiting both the gallery and the institution.
Freedom in a Platform takes its title from a text by the 17th Century Diggers, who proposed new explorations of social and spatial relations in an upturned environment. Featuring an architectural structure for rest and communal care and a cleaner that chemically cancels itself out, seats cast in birdseed meant to find final form in their unmaking outdoors and a performance that embodies the complex alliances that exist between marginalized communities, Freedom in a Platform opens both an altered physical space and new ways of operating within it.
Continuing our Commoning the Institution thematic program, the exhibition extends the process of a commoned institution, an institution-yet-to-come that opens and continues opening. This show likewise opens but doesn’t quite close, operating on overlapping durations, dispersing to other spaces, and occupying the gallery in ever-evolving contexts..
Freedom in a Platform features work from Sage Dawson, Ohad Meromi, OOIEE, Marina Peng, Sean Raspet, Matt Siegle, and Seth Weiner alongside other gestures and remnants from our previous season, and archives oriented towards the future.
