AMOS GEBHARDT Presents "Spooky Action: An Encounter between Poetics and Science"

Hosted by Tolarno Galleries and Talk Contemporary

Gebhardt will discuss use of artistic frameworks and languages of the body to agitate social and scientific norms. Hear Amos examine ideas of screen language, queer orientations, human-centrism, inter-species dependence and alternative ontologies as a way to pluralise the experience of being.
