The series will launch on March 8th, 2021, atÌý. “We have been fortunate to work with designerÌýÌýon the digital site and graphic language for the series,â€� said Martinez. “We have a fantastic group of participants. There will be multiple formats to engage with their work. You will be able to download a transcribed conversation or listen to the same conversation as a recording. You can watch pre-recorded desktop lectures. These lectures are an opportunity for the participants to present a recent body of work, or to share the workflow and cross-collaboration they have with their team and showcase software, tools, or techniques they use in their office.â€�

This series aims to explore the question of what it might look like to operate outside of a traditional gallery space while still maintaining a physical space.“ Our university gallery spaces have become site-specific moments in time with site-specific groups of students and faculty. Campuses rarely operate on a national level outside of their local area,� Martinez added.
