Molecular Revolutions
Molecular Revolutions is a multi-disciplinary group show presenting work by Bassam Al-Sabah, Mark Clare, Clodagh Emoe, Jennifer Mehigan, Erin Redmond, Rosie O鈥橰eilly and Trevor Woods.
Inspired by the French Philosopher and life-long eco-activist Felix Guattari, and his concept of molecular revolutions, this exhibition aims to draw attention to our relationship with the natural world, one that has for so long been marked by disproportion. It explores how we got to this point and invites us to think about what happens next.
Felix Guattari (1930-1992) saw an answer to the environmental crisis in 鈥榤olecular revolutions鈥�. He believed in the power of small acts of change that have the potential to bring about transformation and provide a counter argument to capitalist culture, which he saw as the root of this crisis. He proposed reexamining everyday life and finding solutions through small acts of revolution. As opposed to the 鈥榤olar revolution鈥� of a larger political overthrow, molecular revolution can be achieved through art practices, community collaboration and engagement with local issues.
The artists presented in this exhibition are playfully exploring our relationship with the natural world. Their work questions and challenges current structures in society, they softly subvert the status quo and make us stop and think about our place in the world. They highlight themes of responsibility and acknowledge loss and waste, and at the same time focus on shifting perspectives, working to uncover the deeper layers of our relationship to the more-than-human world, paving the way for alternative futures.
These are molecular revolutions.
