LA CHAMBRE BLANCHE welcomes the Canadian-Mexican artist Michelle Teran for a lengthy site-specific residency that started on September 1st and will end on December 20. We are pleased to invite you for a short presentation about her research and involvement in organisations advocating the right to housing, which address issues of economic crisis and of governmental austerity measures. Currently, she is developing a series of works that examine crisis subjectivities within the scope of recent (post-2011) political movements. Her work has turned to the Spanish eviction crisis; focusing her research on the right-to-housing movement operating throughout the country, in which she is producing films, texts and performances that document the everyday realities of contemporary crisis on individual lives. This presentation will be followed by a screening / discussion of the film she made in Spain, "Mortgaged Lives," which will be held on November 7 at 2 pm.
