Come celebrate the opening of our new exhibition EYES UP! Poster Art for Attention Activism at our Sanctuary Gallery!

The Strother School of Radical Attention is pleased to present an exhibition of the three finalists of EYES UP!, the school’s first open call for artists: Eleanor Furness,Franco Leon, and Juno Tatarka. Paying homage to the history of posters, zines, and ephemera in movement politics, the open call invited visual inquiry on the school’s core mission of Attention Activism through the dynamics of reference, recontextualization, and circulation across reproducible media. Accordingly, the exhibition highlights each artist’s paths of attention alongside their final design, through menageries of their referential materials, in-progress sketches, and alternate versions. Visitors are encouraged to enjoy the designs in conversation with the school’s ongoing programs—and as integrated design elements sowing new seeds into the variously-activated space as a “sanctuary of attention.”
