Weather
Weather is a local phenomena. Distinct from climate, it is the word we use to describe the state of nature in our immediate vicinity, in a specific moment.
Weather is the data for projecting potential futures, calculated in chance. We forecast it as best we can to plan everything from agriculture, to travel, to how we dress in the morning. Famously mercurial, we have learned that while we still live vulnerable to its whims, its general trends stunningly react to us as well; we are very presently reaping the results of our effect on the planet in the form of re-shaped air currents and intensifying storms. Our relationship with weather is less about humanity living at the mercy of capricious, divine whim, and rather a form of co-existence with a vast and complex network of forces that still carry the power of blessing and judgment.
Aesthetically, intimately, weather is the sensation of humid air on our skin during a summer evening, and the muffled quietude of a silencing snowfall. The question of a setting鈥檚 鈥渁tmosphere鈥� is partly a question about weather, and even when it isn鈥檛, we use it as metaphor anyways: a 鈥渃loudy expression鈥� a 鈥渟tormy mood鈥�, an 鈥渁rid, dry tone鈥�. The language of flooding, gusting, billowing, drizzling and freezing has an emotive power that evokes the actual power of nature.
WEATHER is an exhibit of works about weather phenomena, metaphor, atmosphere, climate, and about how we experience, map, and understand it.
For this exhibit 105 artists submitted 341 works from 32 states and 4 countries, including Canada, Italy, Japan, and the United States. Eleven works by the following 7 artists from 5 states and Italy were selected by a blind jury process for presentation in the gallery and the Manifest Exhibition Annual publication.
