"Hopeful" explores headshots—photographs of actors looking for work rather than publicity portraits of stars—both as genre and as material artifact. First appearing in the 1950s, these peculiar images routinely disregard conventions of portraiture: the intended viewer, who is in a position to hire the actor, is offered... no environment, professional emblems, or trace of social context.
Today, New York City agents alone receive an estimated ten thousand headshots weekly, ninety-nine percent of which are routinely thrown out. What is the ecological impact of this rejected material? And how much waste—not only trashed photographs but also image CDs, demo tapes, slides, and manuscripts—does the culture industry need to generate in order to maintain its supposedly meritocratic reputation?
Please join us for the opening of David Levine's "Hopeful" on Saturday, October 3 at 6 pm.

As part of the ongoing exhibition, "Fabrication of Blindness," Julia Mandle will conduct a participatory Embroidery Circle, collaborating with the staff of Cabinet magazine to conduct “craft-based interventions.” During these sewing circles, participants will have access to detainee poetry, letters, and stories, the co...ntent of which they will then stitch onto the hoods and add to the installation, giving voice to previously hidden detainee narratives. Embroidery Circles are open to the public. People without craft experience are highly encouraged to participate.
Embroidery Circles go from 1 to 5 pm on Saturday and Sunday.
