Event detailsSaturday, May 4, 20248 pm Chelsea Recreation Center430 West 25th StreetNew York, New York Free. Spaces are limited; registration opens Friday, April 26. A reflection on our bodies’ intimate relationship with tools, Gordon Hall’s Tone Trio unfolds within the Chelsea Recreation Center’s weight room after hours. Complex machines of ambiguous functionality wait for us in the dark, morphing this utilitarian space into a dreamlike stage. Tone Trio is informed by Hall’s furniture-based sculptures and follows a performance script crafted from the artist’s previous event, Symposium for Experts and Amateurs. The latter, which took place on March 24, 2024, at the Center’s basketball gym, featured brief talks by community members about how to do everyday jobs and tasks. About the program seriesActivations is a series of interdisciplinary public programs designed by artists in response to civic spaces in New York. Each activation invites participants to encounter a ready-made site through the lens of an artistic practice, reimagining them as spaces of creative possibility. All are welcome to participate. Gordon Hall is an artist whose work encompasses sculpture, performance, and writing. Their sculptures emerge from the world of furniture and are often put to use by performing bodies who test out possible engagements with Hall’s specific yet open-ended objects. Hall’s work explores our practices of looking, inviting forms of reading that defy established norms of legibility. Hall has had solo presentations at the Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center at Rensselaer, Troy, New York; MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, Massachusetts; Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, Oregon; Temple Contemporary, Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia; and The Renaissance Society, Chicago; among other venues. Their current research addresses the experience of waiting as a paradoxical convergence of vulnerability and freedom.

Dia Chelsea

Soil Sessions

Add to calendar

Event detailsWednesday, May 22, 20246:30 pm Dia Chelsea 537 West 22nd StreetNew York, New York Free. Spaces are limited; registration opens Wednesday, May 8. Join us for a lecture by curator and writer Camila Marambio as she reflects on Morelos’s exhibition in relation to her own practice at the intersection of environmental humanities, decolonial nature conservation, contemporary art, and performance studies, with a particular focus on her research and conservation efforts of peatlands and coastal wetland ecosystems. For Dia’s forthcoming publication dedicated to Morelos’s soil-based works, Marambio and ecologist Renee Rossini contributed a text on peat, which is a revered material for the artist in this commission. The lecture is accompanied by a scent invocation and textual contribution by artist agustine zegers, inviting peatlands from various corners of the world into the space. Camila Marambio is a transdisciplinary curator, storyteller, and somatic care worker. Marambio earned an MA in Modern and Contemporary Art: Critical and Curatorial Studies from Columbia University, New York, in 2004; an MA of Experiments in Arts and Politics from Sciences Po, Paris, in 2012; and a PhD in Curatorial Practice from Monash University, Melbourne, in 2019. In 2010, in partnership with the Wildlife Conservation Society Chile, she founded Ensayos, a collective research practice dedicated to long-term, process-based projects focused on ecocultural conservation work in Karokynká, Tierra del Fuego, Chile, and other archipelagos. In 2020, she was a guest curator of the Extended Research Project at the Cisneros Institute of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, during which she convened the Aconcagua Summit. In 2021, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm as part of The Seedbox: An Environmental Humanities Collaboratory. In 2022, for the Chilean Pavilion at the 59th Venice Art Biennale, she curated the collective and interdisciplinary project Turba Tol Hol-Hol Tol, which includes an eponymous book of ecotransfeminist writing from Latin America and the Caribbean. Marambio’s writing has been published in Art+Australia, Australian Feminist Studies, Discipline, Kerb Journal, Terremoto, The River Rail, and Third Text, among others. She has co-authored Slow Down Fast, A Toda Raja (2019) with Cecilia Vicuña, and Sandcastles: A Queerfemme Proposition on Cancer Ecologies (2024) with Nina Lykke. Currently, Marambio is Curator of New Perspectives at the conservation NGO Para La Naturaleza in Borikén, Puerto Rico. About the program series In conjunction with Delcy Morelos: El abrazo, Dia presents Soil Sessions, an iterative series of interdisciplinary activations, poetic responses to, discursive reflections on, and embodied engagements with earth as subject and material in Morelos’s work. These public programs, presented monthly throughout the run of the exhibition, invite sustained engagement with the commission through a variety of lenses. More information on the full program series is available here.
