The New York Art Residency & Studios (NARS) Foundation is pleased to present PROXIES, organized by Inbar Hagai, Season I, 2025 International Residency Artist, and Departure Lounge. As part of the NARS Art in Dialogue public programs series, join us for a one-night screening featuring international moving-image work. Each of the artists in the program engages with the idea of substitutes–replicas, simulations, and reembodiments–in order to complicate contemporary modes of representation. Using strategies such as reenactment, repetition, flattening, recontextualization, and the appropriation of mass-media iconography, these works probe the power structures inherent in current legal, political, and sociological territories, as well as traditional cinematic constructs of time and narrative.
**Content Warning: Some of the films in this program contain challenging material that may be unsettling for viewers. One film includes sequences of strobing imagery.
