Opening reception May 6, 6–9 p.m. We have as much time as it takes is the thesis exhibition of CCA's Graduate Program in Curatorial Practice. The curatorial intent derives from a questioning of academic and art-world processes. Productivity, expectations for achievement, and bureaucratic systems are highlighted, questioned, and critiqued through works that embody circular processes, resist completion, and refute the demand for definable results or resolution. The show features works by a range of contemporary artists and collectives: Nina Beier and Marie Lund, David Horvitz, Jason Mena, Sandra Nakamura, Roman Ondák, Red76, Zachary Royer Scholz, Tercerunquinto, Lawrence Weiner, and Christine Wong Yap. Designed by Jon Sueda / Stripe, the exhibition catalog features interviews with each of the artists; a project by Matthew Rana, a student in the Graduate Program in Visual and Critical Studies; and texts by the local poet Jasper Bernes and the writers Erica Levin and Daniel Marcus. The publication is available as a downloadable PDF at www.wattis.org. Special event: Another Time Tuesday, May 18, 7–10 p.m. The galleries will stay open until 10 p.m., and there will be a one-night-only screening of James Benning’s 2005 film One Way Boogie Woogie / 27 Years Later accompanied by a reception.
