Exhibition
Gallery 1 (G1): Molecules and Me
Molecules and Me is a flooded landscape of molecular activity, where matter and the self are constantly dissolving, circulating, and recombining. The journey begins below the threshold of perception––from the molecule to the molecular individual and to swarms of molecules, forming a field of relations in constant flux across scales.
Gallery 2 (G2): Bodies and Bonds
Bodies and Bonds becomes a binary field, divided like a football pitch or table tennis table. Bodies face one another through a single line, touching and being touched, disciplining and being disciplined, caring and being cared for. Illness, intimacy, and repetition leave their marks on the body. Repetition may narrow a life, but can also remake one. The works in this gallery revolve around training––the athleticism of the body and the spirit––testing the capacities of the human form against the pressures of familial bonds.
Gallery 3 (G3): Landscapes and Learning
Landscapes and Learning opens into a forest, where knowledge takes root through cultivation, labor, and collective life. Cultivation runs both ways: people shape the land, and the land shapes those who inhabit it. Fields, schools, cities, and communities become the ground from which knowledge and ways of living grow and take shape. The works in this gallery reimagine the relationships between landscape and power.
Gallery 4 (G4): Cosmos and Change
Cosmos and Change darkens into a night landscape, passing through sleep, dreams, and visions of worlds beyond the human. Emerging from the darkness are moving images and geological presences opening onto planetary time and myth. The works in this gallery gather around diverse forms of bodies––ceramic bodies, volcanic ones, bodies acting as antennae––each a channel for ancestral dreams and visions of days to come.
Gallery 5 (G5): Air and Articulations
Air and Articulations is a landscape of air, scarcely recognizable as a room. There the exhibition is released into breath, sound, and language, closing the journey in open air. A deconstructed club environment turns the visitor’s breathing body into an instrument that both plays and is played.
