Yes We Cannibal is leaving Government St in Baton Rouge on March 1, 2025 after five years. We will be exiting the space and becoming temporarily nomadic but will continue to program events and make work together before finding a new home in 2026.
Our final exhibit at this location will be Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste, In The Black (What Do You Think It’s Worth) and will run from December 14th through February 1st.
Jeremy’s practice offers a compelling intervention into the canon of land art, among other areas. More will be revealed in time but his current foci of interest convince me that he is one of our most interesting conceptual actors right now for continuing to privilege and even, perhaps, uphold form and gesture in the wake of a resurgent (but welcome) criticality across the art world and academia that has often done the opposite.
This week in Frieze, a colleague of ours, Andrea Andersson from Rivers Institute in New Orleans offered a short and incisive exploration of his work alongside the similarly non-dual inspiration of Imani Jacqueline Brown.
Yes We Cannibal will be publishing a short catalogue for Jeremy’s show as well as releasing the long-delayed catalogue for Emptiness Ecologies, beautifully designed by We Are Constance, the same month.
On January 18th, we will also convene a panel at Yes We Cannibal featuring Jeremy in dialogue with Dr. Chris Taylor and familiar voices like RC Clarke, and Dr. Thomas Stanley.
