Unthought Environments

17 Feb, 2018 - 08 Apr, 2018

Unthought Environments is partly inspired by evolving discussions in media theory, ecology, philosophy, and anthropology, and borrows its title from John Durham Peters鈥檚 book The Marvelous Clouds: Toward a Philosophy of Elemental Media. Nevertheless it develops in the spirit of a collective investigation: the exhibition鈥檚 subjects, approaches, and pivot points in the elemental sphere are set forth by the artists. New and recent works by Marissa Lee Benedict, Nina Canell, Revital Cohen & Tuur Van Balen, Florian Germann, and others, offer a set of explorations and propositions, taking a variety of forms. Their videos, sculptures, photographs, digital images, and kinetic installations delve into the fraught state of water in multiple countries, the mining operations that feed our computers, electromagnetic fields made visible and strange, and other phenomena brought to life.
