Performance

MFA Fine Arts presents a performance by Jon Copes, in conjunction with the exhibition "Non-Sovereign Poetics," in the SVA Chelsea Gallery and on Zoom. 

Job Search is a multimedia performance by Jon Copes presented live at SVA Chelsea Gallery and online via Zoom for the MFA Fine Arts thesis exhibition “Non-Sovereign Poetics.” Using a framework for performance developed during his thesis Aesthetics of Research, Jon will use images and sounds from his personal archive, online job listings and live audio to look forward to life post academia—questioning what it means to work, attempting to determine the value of “experience” and applying for jobs.
