Stamps Gallery presents an online exhibition and screening of new videos by Raqs Media Collective, commissioned by Stamps Gallery and presented in partnership with EXPO CHICAGO. The films, twentyfourbyseven (7 mins, video, calligraphy, text, animation, 2020) and Why do they call the answer to a question, a solution? (12 minutes, video, spoken word, 2020) complete The Pandemic Circle that Raqs Media Collective embarked upon with their recent video 31 Days, released in summer 2020. Together, this suite of poignant and poetic videos grapple with the pervasive and dispersed impact on daily routines and relationships in the age of the Coronavirus. 

The videos are live today on the EXPO CHICAGO programming microsite, Stamps website, and the Stamps Youtube channel, and will be available to watch until January 31, 2021.
