Happy to be part of NARGIFSUS, which is part of the closing event at TRANSFER for Carla Gannis’ second solo show, A SUBJECT SELF DEFINED.
NARGIFSUS takes place on the occasion of the closing of the solo exhibition ‘A Subject Self-Defined’ by Carla Gannis. The Selfie Drawings by the artist, which are the prelude to the works on view at TRANSFER Gallery, were part of the group show Porn to Pizza—Domestic Clichés curated by Tina Sauerländer at DAM Gallery in Berlin last year.
The topic of the show, the change of personal comfort zones in the Digital Age, complements The Selfie Drawings that deal with contemporary states of analog-virtual hybridity and identity performance.
Between 18:00-22:00 gifs and images from over 60 artists will be displayed at the gallery in Brooklyn, New York. I, of course, can’t be there (unless someone can lend give me £2000) but y’all should if you live there. The gifs will be online soon!
On 17th March I’ll be delivering a presentation on the topic of Copyleft as part of my exhibition, Permission Taken, and the Arts and Science Festival at University of Birmingham.
Antonio Roberts introduces concepts behind the exhibition and knowledge of copyright gained through undertaking a CopyrightX course. This session encourages participants to think critically about how Copyleft concepts could be applied to their own practice or area.

On 15th March I’ll be running an Exquisite Corpse workshop as part of my exhibition, Permission Taken, and the Arts and Science Festival at University of Birmingham.
Antonio Roberts leads a workshop inspired by the Exquisite Corpse surrealist storytelling technique. Participants are invited to co-create an artwork re-mixing archive images and other materials.
Following the workshop there’ll be a discussion questioning authorship and ownership of the collaboratively created artworks.
