Exhibition Statement

There has been a recent emergence of contemporary art engaging with the non-human, alien, silent, and unseen.

Whether intuitive or deliberate, this shift towards a more speculative and philosophical approach to describing an interconnected, non-hierarchical worldview has sparked a new conversation concerning how we imagine things beyond ourselves and how we define humanity’s role within the cosmos. In order to grasp and address the rapidly changing global climate, artists are inventing new terms and devising new frameworks for ascertaining and expressing the nature of existence. Primitive ontologies, tentacular models of connectivity, and paradox are amongst the ever-expanding range of devices appearing in contemporary discourse.
