Invited Guest - Public Programming

In their Fall 2017 artist's talk, Liz Mputu discussed their practice of mobilizing video, interactive media, sculpture, and installation to examine questions of play, spirituality, and well/being within and beyond virtual space. Their multimedia and multiplatform practice rigorously engages questions of sex, gender, blackness, and queerness in ways that necessarily press against the privileging of whiteness that categories such as "internet art" and "feminist net art" can encompass, while also posing trenchant critiques of the mythos of the internet-as-utopia. Mputu's solo show, LVLZ Healing Center: IRL Application of Digi-Manifestation, was on view at Interstitial Gallery until October 28, 2017.
