Join Tamara H. Schenkenberg, curator at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation, and Monika Weiss, New York-based artist and associate professor at the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis, for a screening and discussion of three short films by Mona Hatoum: "Don’t smile you’re on camera!" (1980), "Roadworks" (1985), and "Measures of Distance" (1988). The conversation will also include a response by Weiss, focusing on her own work, as well as an examination of other contemporary women artists working with body, memory, and public space.

WE’RE BAAAAACK!!!
Much like the poltergeist from the feature film Poltergeist 2, in person events are back! Because scheduling is scary enough, Silver Space is here to help. Behold, our virtual baby - The Events Calendar - revived by popular demand. Here you can find out when the next gallery opening is, where you can hear free artist talks, and even what you missed out on because you didn’t check the calendar like you should have in the first place. Shame!
If you have an exhibition, event, artist talk, opening, or something tangentially associated, email marinam@silverspacestl.com and we’ll do our best to get you on!
