At the Vibrating Edges

We have been thinking about our programming as interconnected lines of inquiry, learning how exhibitions and programs—not just artworks—can be curated into reciprocal conversation. It is in-between these exhibitions and programs—at their vibrating edges—where new connections are ignited across Agnes’s collections and commissions.

With Opened Mouths: The Podcast

With Opened Mouths: The Podcast

Find the third season of With Opened Mouths: The Podcast. The podcast that makes space for artists, poets, performers, activists and curators to speak for themselves. Join us as we hear stories about creative visions that powerfully convey why art and artists are critically important right now.

Migration Musings: A Journey with Jinny Yu
In an increasingly complex and divided world, artist Jinny Yu asks, what is on the other side of us? Through the act of painting, Jinny explores uneasy and shifting realities - what does it mean to be a painter, and an activist? Could one navigate being an insider and an outsider at the same time? Through this meandering conversation on migration which inspired her work for the 56th Venice Biennale, Don't They Ever Stop Migrating? we are brought along a journey of self-discovery that leaves viewers with important questions we must ask ourselves.
