Study Hall Member Rea McNamara Curated A Digital Exhibition

For the MacKenzie Art Gallery, Rea McNamara curated a digital exhibition as part of their Digital Exhibitions Toolkit and Art Installation Launcher (DETAIL), a newly developed resource championing the development of art exhibitions for digital platforms. The exhibition, which is led by a “rebellious AI chatbot,” is called “Wake Windows: The Witching Hour.” According to McNamara, the show “intends to make visible the missing datasets in our collective understanding of the often invisible labor that is mothering”and “guides viewers through interactive and time-based art by artists who are parents, caregivers, or educators who engage with public databases and living archives.” 

Rea McNamara is a writer and curator. She has written for Art in America, The Globe and Mail, and VICE.
