Series Kickoff with Elizabeth Hénaff and Craig Fahner
Kicking off the Spring 2026 ONX Speaker Series, IDM Faculty Elizabeth Hénaff and Craig Fahner present a talk and workshop that introduces the series’ extraordinary theme. Focusing on practices that engage with uncommon processes, spaces and audiences, the presenters will lead a workshop activity that encourages participants to imagine expanded and unexpected avenues for their works in progress. Hénaff and Fahner will present their own work in relation to these themes, and will provide an overview of the work of the upcoming 2026 speaker series presenters.
Upcoming Events
Shannon Mattern
After roughly 25 years in the academy, I’ve recently resituated my work within a networked urban commons. This talk explores two new projects: first, the Cross-Reference Coalition, an experimental school bridging New York City’s knowledge and cultural institutions, and framing public pedagogy as creative practice; and second, the Library Field, an ecological library that serves as an open-air laboratory for interdisciplinary design practice and creative research. I’ll examine how this work responds to the institutional transformations and the political, social, technological, ethical, and epistemological challenges of our age.
Steve Gurysh
Steve Gurysh is an artist and educator working in sculpture, computational craft, and art in the public realm. Recognized by a fluid approach to process and material, his work compresses place-based inquiries into potent artifacts containing digital to physical translations, speculative relationships to time, and generative social contracts. His talk will explore the dimensions of a place-based practice developed in correspondence with scientists, municipal workers, other artists, communities, and non-human participants.
