On Sunday, July 16 at 3 PM EST, Artbook @ MoMA PS1 Bookstore presents readings and a conversation between A.K. Burns, CAConrad, Megan Hicks and Aruna D'Souza to mark the launch of A.K. Burns: Negative Space, published by Dancing Foxes Press/The Wexner Center for the Arts.

Chronicling an epic multimedia project 10 years in the making, A.K. Burns’s first monograph grapples with resource limitations, ways of coexisting and the necessity to cultivate sociopolitical agency in the margins.

Deploying science fiction, material feminism, eco-anarchism, queer theory and technoscience, New York–based artist A.K. Burns (born 1975) explores the fraught relationships between humanity and the environment in an epic multimedia work, Negative Space (2015–23).

This nonlinear allegory was developed as a cycle of four video installations, Negative Space imagines new relationships to the spaces we occupy and the impact of our bodies in these spaces through imagery, research and critical and creative writings. Set in a speculative present, the tetralogy envisions a new materialist cosmology wherein hierarchical relations are transformed.
