In conjunction with
Tali Keren’s solo exhibition at Ludlow 38,
Heat Signature, the artist has invited law
Professor Ramzi Kassem for a dialogue at the gallery. Together Keren and Kassem will share their research and thoughts regarding national myths and national security; surveillance and legal rights; heat-based imagery, and counterterrorism policies and practices.
About the exhibition:
Heat Signature is a culmination of Tali Keren's on-going research on Judeo-Christian ideology and the military-industrial complex. Juxtaposing Thomas Jefferson's rejected 1776 design for the Great Seal of the United States with a FLIR Systems Inc. FC-R thermal camera, Keren underscores the inherent relations between American national myths, religious belief, and the quest for power and control.
Tali Keren is a multidisciplinary artist based in New York.
Professor Ramzi Kassem is Professor of Law at the City University of New York
Commissioned and organized by The Agency for Legal Imagination operating throughout 2018 at Ludlow 38, with the kind support of the Artis Grant Program
