    Performance & Screening Events: Ei Arakawa and Sergei Tcherepnin; Xavier Cha performance; Zackary Drucker performance; ongoing Taisha Paggett performance; gallery talk with Malik Gaines; Akosua Adoma Owusu screening; Alexandro Segade performance; Dynasty Handbag (Jibz Cameron) performance; and Adam Pendleton performance. Bringing together the works of 19 diverse artists, Quadruple-Consciousness explores various tactics for representing the complex, contradictory legacies of cultural differences of this contemporary moment. The title itself, a hyperbolic multiplication of W.E.B. Du Bois' idea of Double-Consciousness, plays within the fractures of post-modern experience, transforming its alienated gaps into locations for possible expression. Through fictitious portraits, play acting, historiographic collages and alternate histories, these artists seek potential liberties within the uncertainty of irreconcilable identities. Performance, video, installation, painting, drawing, and sculpture all contribute to this mix of ideas and images.
