Thursday, March 15th at 7pm join us at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami (ICA Miami) for the Melanie Gilligan Lecture. Artist, filmmaker and writer Melanie Gilligan discusses recent work and the systemic relationships between labor, economy and politics. FREE RSVP

Melanie Gilligan (b. 1979, Toronto, Canada) works in a variety of media including video, performance, installation and music. She completed a BA (Hons) in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins in London, and was a Fellow at the Whitney Independent Study Program from 2004-2005. Gilligan regularly contributes to publications including Artforum, Texte zur Kunst, Mute and Grey Room, and sees critical writing as an essential part of her artistic practice. For her large-scale video works, the artist filmmaker develops her academic investigation of sociopolitical issues, especially of systemic relationships between labor, economy and politics, as well as the individual’s role within this network of relationships. Mostly produced as serialized dramas using fictional future worlds, her works explore the shifting experience of everyday life in today’s economies by analyzing logical structures of contemporary capitalism.
