Navigating the Now: A Confrontation with Reality Beyond the Digital Realm

​Speakers: Claudia Hart, Jenn McCoy, Heather Dewey-Hagborg

​Moderator: Margaret Murphy, The Second-Guess

​On the occasion of Claudia Hart’s fifth solo exhibition at bitforms, the gallery and the curatorial collective The Second-Guess are hosting the panel Navigating the Now: A Confrontation with Reality Beyond the Digital Realm.

​As contemporary artists grapple with pressing societal questions, Margaret Murphy from The Second-Guess speaks with artists Claudia Hart, Jennifer McCoy, and Heather Dewey-Hagborg about how their work challenges norms and reflects the complexities of our time. How does the legacy of feminist pioneers continue to inspire and inform artistic responses to the social challenges we face today?

​Like Claudia Hart’s exhibition, the conversation will serve as a meditation on the process of history, collapse, and regeneration, and art as a means of transcendence.
