The Institute for the Analysis of Empathy and Ethnography of No Place, with Rachel Lears Employing sculpture, installation, performance and painting, Saya Woolfalk weaves the tale of an artist-researcher and a species (the Empathics) she discovers, bringing the utopian world of the Empathics to life through a feminist lens. The 30-minute video “Ethnography of No Place,” made with filmmaker and anthropologist Rachel Lears, conjures a fictional world that Woolfalk conceived as artist-in-residence at the Studio Museum in Harlem in 2008. It will run concurrently on the New Media Wall outside the gallery.
