Monument to the Unelected: In conversation with Nina Katchadourian and John Spiak

On Monday, November 2, at 3 pm, AGG Director Shauna McCabe hosted a virtual conversation with artist Nina Katchadourian and John Spiak, Director and Chief Curator of California State University Fullerton’s Grand Central Art Center. A day before the United States election, this discussion focused on Katchadourian’s project Monument to the Unelected, on view during the fall of 2020 in sites across the country. Endorsing the runner-up in every presidential election in American history, the 58 signs speak collectively to what might have been – to choices not made – and the peaceful transfer of power that has followed every election cycle in US history. This talk was presented in conjunction with the exhibition Sites of Memory.
