The UBC Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory is pleased to present an artist talk by Jeanine Oleson. She will discuss her recent work of interrelated performances, objects and videos based in research on contemporary conditions of lived experience and the irreconcilable relationships between bodies, labour, resources, and art. Oleson will speak about the development of a recent project, Conduct Matters, which takes the idea of conduction that is material, political, musical, and ethical while working with an ensemble cast using the production cycle of copper as a ground to examine communication, technology and the sensory through an absurdist lens.
