Swamplands
Focusing on the ethical and technical entanglements of water, Swamplands features works by Imani Jacqueline Brown; Jingru (Cyan) Cheng and Chen Zhan; Gala Porras-Kim; Fred Schmidt-Arenales; and a new commission by Jer贸nimo Reyes-Retana. The exhibition takes the murky soil and unstable grounds of swamps as a conceptual framework to highlight the ecological and socioeconomic intricacies that lie at the threshold between bodies of water and land. Swamplands explores the unique social, political, and economic conditions of the tidelands in Louisiana, Yucat谩n, Tamaulipas, Texas, and Thailand. Initially developed as a yearlong research and exhibition series through Storefront for Art and Architecture, the New York presentation of Swamplands was supported by the Graham Foundation and the exhibition at the Madlener House in Chicago is the culmination of the initiative.
Storefront for Art and Architecture amplifies the understanding of the built environment through artistic practice. Founded in 1982 by artists and architects in downtown New York, Storefront has chronicled the changing urban landscape of the city over the years and remains committed to producing and presenting work about diverse notions of place and public life.
