What is an institution as an exhibition: a survey of objects, props and acts?

As an institution that proposes art’s social relevance to the pressing issues of our time, when time comes to us, we wonder - what is an art of its time? What is a voice of the people? Which people and where? The institution must become a time, or contain a quarrel within time, a staccato rhythm in history with legacies and futures we don’t yet understand.

The Luminary presents We, Object (a quarrel in ragtime) as a part of Alternative Currencies at Vox Populi in Philadelphia, a survey of alternative spaces across the US including KChung!, Possible Press, Threewalls. Featuring texts, objects, and artists considering the multiple intersections of the institution within current social movements, We, Object (a quarrel in ragtime) aims to embed a simultaneous space of hospitality and protest within the gallery.

Artists include Steven Cottingham, Jen Everett, Kahlil Irving, and Phillip B. Williams and is curated by US English.
