The Disquiet Foundation: Extraordinary General Meeting
Collaboration with Sasha J. Langford

February 5 – March 7, 2026
Audain Gallery at the SCA
149 W. Hastings St., Vancouver

Extraordinary General Meeting marks the official incorporation of the Disquiet Foundation, an artwork in the form of an emergent non-profit organization that seeks to make space for critical thinking in association with the challenging feelings of dread and grief.

Making space for sitting idly, so as not to sit idly by, the Foundation seeks to map the unprecedented affective terrain of escalating polycrisis, by creating an institution that is equally intended to endure so as to be ephemeral. Inspired by lineages of institutional critique that appropriate the tools of the bureaucratic landscape, the Disquiet Foundation sees the document, the office, and the non-profit society as generative media forms that can invite new relational and poetic processes.

The Foundation pursues its research through the holding and organizing of exhibitions, performances, concerts, lectures, symposia, voyages, musings, psychic projections, protests, wakes, excursions, experiments, laments, meals, and other activities.

Extraordinary General Meeting is presented by Jonathan Middleton & Sasha J. Langford with collaborators: Edie Fake, Kevin Romain, Clint Burnham, Hyung-Min Yoon, and Sophia Jaworski.

The exhibition operated as an initial presentation of the Foundation’s key documents and served as a platform for events, lectures, discussions, and performances that unfolded over the course of the exhibition.
