We're excited to be a part of the 3rd edition of The Internet Yami-Ichi in New York! This internet-ish flea market is a gathering space for
“browsing” face-to-face. We've been spending the better part of this year of our internet, 2019, thinking about how artists find creative ways of using novel communication channels to get their messages across. Continuing off the research in our exhibition Meme Tactics, we're bringing hacks, tricks, and slides that amplify underhead voices from mainland China & beyond.
COME ! IT'S GONNA BE GREAT !!
November 30, 2019 from 11 am to 6 pm
