Join Carnation Contemporary on Sunday, January 31 at 7:00pm for a livestreamed dance performance as interdisciplinary artist Leah Wilmoth reinterprets Pangea through movement. Responding to sculpture, poetry, and audio present in the gallery, Wilmoth will engage in responsive actions and gestures that circulate through the gallery and virtual space.

Exhibition Statement

Pangea releases a stream of potential energy from language and inanimate objects, sending resources and bodies into intersecting orbits. Rocks, minerals, research, digital technology, sound, and sculpture are mined for their poetic possibilities to create new supercontinents–clumps of information and materials that stick together. Consciousness moves between and within shared bodies to reimagine community and kinship on a planet where geologic time moves slow, but surface time moves fast. New, craggy landscapes emerge, powered by the hum of soft bodies and hardware.
