The Discomfort of Repair: Exhibition making as ‘pushing hands' with art’s histories  

Join us to welcome curator Hammad Nasar for a talk on The Discomfort of Repair: Exhibition making as ‘pushing hands' with art’s histories. The Tai Chi based exercise of ‘pushing hands’ is a model of practice that requires its practitioners to meet incoming force with softness; to move with the force and redirect it, or allow it to exhaust itself. In his presentation Nasar will use ‘pushing hands' as a lens through which to consider recent curatorial projects that deal with difficult histories, and argue for the exhibition itself as a kind of social infrastructure.
