Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, OH. January 30, 2021- May 9, 2021.
Ready is a traveling artistic platform by Related Tactics (Michele Carlson, Weston Teruya, and Nathan Watson) that invites other artists to join us in making and deploying a collection of creative interventions, tools, and strategies that can be used to interrupt systems of marginalization, exploitation, and erasure, large and small.
For the second iteration of Ready (originally installed at the Berkeley Arts Center, 2019) at the Wexner Center for the Arts, fifteen artists were invited from around the country to reflect with us by creating short text pieces that describe critical actions or artists’ interventions that invite audiences to examine what it means to be ready to engage with and transform the state of our world. These creative actions, written in the artist’s own hand, will be printed and displayed throughout the Wexner as part of the Related Tactics installation. A free print takeaway that collects all of the text pieces will be available so audiences can employ the interventions in their own communities and institutions.
