To Refuse/To Wait/To Sleep and M&A

Exhibition catalogue from To Refuse/ To Wait/ To Sleep and M&A at the Belkin (13 January-9 April 2017) with texts by curator Lorna Brown, Jamie Hilder on KP Brehmer, Maria Lind’s conversation with Goldin+Senneby and a libretto by Pamela Carter. To refuse/To wait/To sleep and M&A bring together work by Goldin+Senneby, Melanie Gilligan, Gabrielle Hill, Richard Ibghy & Marilou Lemmens, Marianne Nicolson and Raqs Media Collective to investigate belief and prediction in economic models, precarious labour and illicit and marginalized markets. Speculative and experimental, their work tests models, forecasts futures and examines histories of exchange and the limits of productivity. In the context of knowledge-based economies, student debt and the outsourcing of intellectual labour, the exhibition aims to draw forth dialogues about how we imagine individual and collective futures in the “new normal.”
