Artists Show “How Not to Be Seen” by Surveillant Gaze at Remai Modern
Named after Hito Steyerl’s iconic 2013 video essay, “How Not to Be Seen” opens at the Remai Modern in Saskatoon (CA). Artists including Nick Cave, Zach Blas, Sondra Perry, and Steyerl present works that question the ubiquitous surveillance that “monitors and evaluates our actions, needs, and desires.” Demonstrating the show’s titular prompt, Canadian artist Sandra Brewster’s Blur Grid (2016-19, image) presents photos of Black individuals in motion, where each subject resists legibility.
