Join us at 7 pm on Sept. 25 for a live studio visit and Q&A with Sebura&Gartelmann in tandem with their exhibition, “Bonded,” on view in MMoCA’s Imprint Gallery through September 27, 2020.
Sebura&Gartelmann: Bonded features the video work of collaborative duo Jonas Sebura and Alex Gartelmann, whose practice challenges expressions of traditional masculinity by creating contemporary rituals that cultivate trust and express intimacy between the artists. The sometimes calamitous situations in which they place themselves highlight not only their vulnerability but also their care for each other, and operate as models for non-hierarchical interdependence. In this hour-long studio visit followed by a live Q&A, Sebura&Gartelmann will discuss themes key to their work, the process they have developed over their decade long collaboration, and how their practice has changed in response to the ongoing pandemic.
Submit questions in advance by visiting the link below, or drop them in the live comment section during the Q&A.
