(Image courtesy of the artists) With frenetic editing, absurdist humor and a stubbornly improvisational ethos, artists Lizzie Fitch and Ryan Trecartin create deliriously non-narrative videos, sculptures and installations that both investigate and embody the arch, hyper-self-consciousness of social media and reality television. On Feb. 4, Fitch and Trecartin will discuss their collaborative practice as part of the spring Public Lecture Series, sponsored by the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. In all, the series will feature 22 virtual presentations by renowned artists, architects, designers and scholars. Archival slides of the Charles E. Fleming House, Town and Country, Mo.

For this exhibition, Neshat presents the entire collection of photographs from this series as well as both films, which has been complemented by an online viewing room and virtual screenings throughout the shows run. Combining Neshats singular artistic language with her intuitive approach to documenting the subjects she photographs, Land of Dreams presents multifaceted, surreal views into contemporary American culture during the Trump era.

After handing James a snow globe of New York to symbolize their shared hometown, Kit was interrupted by Victoria, the founder of a spray-tanning company who arrived aloft on a throne carried by four guys, tiara on head, insisting on being called “Queen Victoria.” “Excuse me princess, but the queen is here,” Victoria said to Kit and Matt, crashing their one-on-one moment.

And the election of President Joe Biden suggested a potential return to order but really, how can things ever be as they were?
