This virtual lecture is presented as part of the Fall 2022 Visiting Artist Lecture Series, free and open to all. Registration is required. Live captioning is available.

Jason Hirata was born in Seattle, Washington in 1986. His work examines forms of recognition in spaces of alienated labor and argues that if we think of contingency, heteronomy, and affectability not as a mere condition of the artist, but as fundamental to the materiality of art, then it is necessary to think about these conditions as constitutive support. He has exhibited at Fanta MLN, Milan;Kunstverein Nürnberg; Artists Space; Svetlana, New York; 80WSE at NYU; Theta, New York; and Ulrik, New York.
