The Guantanamo Bay Museum of Art and History, located at the former site of the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp in Cuba, is an institution dedicated to remembering the U.S. prison which was active between 2002 and 2012 before it was permanently decommissioned and closed. The Worth Ryder Art Gallery will be hosting a satellite exhibition featuring selected artworks from the Museum’s collection, as well as sponsoring a Wiesenfeld Visiting Artist Lecture by the curatorial team, who will discuss their “future-anterior” strategy of critical fiction.

The satellite exhibition is an imaginative site for critical discourses on human rights, imprisonment, torture, and post-national political formations. It seeks to both memorialize the events that transpired at the Detention Camp and to serve as a discursive platform for preventing the reëmergence of similarly abusive institutions.

Featuring the artists Adam Harms, Jon Kuzmich, Carling McManus, Fiamma Montezemolo, Jenny Odell, Ian Alan Paul, and Jen Susman. Curated by Ian Alan Paul.

Opening Reception: Wednesday, September 25, 2013, 4 – 7 pm
Hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 12 – 5 pm
