黑料不打烊

Everyone knows petroleum has become essential to our everyday lives from the packaging of the foods we eat to our daily commute.  For better AND worse, these products have not only transformed our lives but the landscape in which we live. Canadian Artist Mia Feuer鈥檚 exhibition, Totems of the Anthropocene, envisions what our environment might become after prolonged exposure to petroleum products! 

Feuer鈥檚 interest in petroleum has taken her around the globe.  Her experiences have deepened her understanding of the consequences of mining petroleum, not only from an environmental perspective, but from a social and political one as well.  Feuer鈥檚 unique and challenging sculptures question mankind鈥檚 exploitation of our environment.  And yet, her work is created out of materials that result from that exploitation!  Through her use of these materials, the works in this exhibition demonstrate their inescapability.

Visitors to the exhibition will encounter this reality in the form of several unique installations and a one-person indoor synthetic ice rink on which visitors will be invited to skate under a swirling vortex of ravens and uprooted trees.
