Zoonotic Hex
Attuned to the climate conditions birthing increased interspecies disease, this specially selected group of artists offer a Zoonotic Hex鈥撯 an antidote to speed the collapse of humanity or perhaps a prophetic warning, a deterrent from that fate. The global pandemic has created a social landscape peopled by anxieties and post-truths. A trend toward omnicidal fantasy offers an escape, a futuristic outlet where the Earth-goes-on鈥撯 even if we, humans, don鈥檛. Each artist here demands rapid, evidence-based, collective action as an antidote for our suffering Earth.
The artists selected for this Zoonotic Hex all approach the climate crisis from a different perspective. Sally Jerome hits us head on with geologic (or dendrochronologic) time. In a similar observational vein, Melissa Oresky, Annalise Neil, and Cassie Chalfant create images documenting nature, while Brooke Frank flips the colonialist nature diary on its head, exploring the rise of the cult of science. Keturah Cummings鈥 Sap Sucker lives between documentary diary and ritualistic nature orgy. Conjuring continues with a group of artists who deploy some hex-it-back-to-nature Feminism including Alfred Rosenbluth, Julia Curran, and Terra Keck with Keturah Cummings spanning this genre.
