The Sanctuary Space at the Strother Radical School of Attention is pleased to announce REMOVED, RENEWED (opening 14 September), an exhibition featuring a selection of images by photographer Eric Pickersgill from his REMOVED series. In this acclaimed series, Pickersgill reenacts familiar scenes by asking sitters to perform the gesture of gazing at their handheld devices, a choreography that calls attention to the way these technologies have shaped our daily life. The devices are absent — a striking elision that invites deeper reflection on the place of technology in our most intimate spaces.

The Friends of Attention is a coalition of artists, scholars, and activists concerned with attentional forms (and practices) that are resistant to commodification. Founded in 2018 at the São Paulo Biennial, the collective makes films and texts, coordinates study groups, and convenes an annual series of workshops on “The Politics of Attention.” The Friends have written a “Handbook for the Attention Liberation Movements” and a “Manifesto for the Freedom of Attention.” These and other materials are available at www.friendsofattention.net.
