Related Tactics (Michele Carlson, Weston Teruya, and Nate Watson), are part of the Print Public exhibition now at Kala Art Institute (January 27-March 26). Unfortunately due to COVID, there is no opening event, but the gallery is open Wednesday-Friday with hours by appointment on Saturdays.

Our project, Memories Breathe and Every Monument Deflates, examines the mechanisms of history-making: framing devices that disseminate and structure stories of place, cities, and value systems, but are often hidden in plain sight, receding into the background in service of the ideologies they enact. We intervene in these tools–including postcards and photographs, statuary plinths, and cartographic processes–to bring them to the fore, invite questions, and make apparent the ways the systems of knowledge they structure undergird our local and national discourses around memory and power, regardless of whether they are physically present in the current landscape. Projects in this new body of work include (Inflating Agitation) and Collected Landscapes.

We are honored to be exhibiting the project alongside work from the other great Print Public fellows: Christine Wong-Yap, Emma Logan & Cristine Blanco, and Lara Kaur.
