Join us for an evocative conversation on the closing day of In The Garden Of The Dentist, a solo exhibition of new and recent work by Jason de Haan (with Miruna Drăgan). Drăgan's solo exhibition follows with an opening on June 11th.
Partners in life and art, Jason de Haan and Miruna Dragan met in 2008 during the Cosmic Ray Research residency at the Banff Centre and have since lived and worked together in Canada, Mexico, Romania, Lebanon, and Greece, producing a number of projects individually and in collaboration. The artists will discuss the afterlives of things, the powers of synchronicity, and the legacies of deep time.
