Opening Reception: Saturday, October 14, 1-3pm

Developing out of several micro-residencies and informal collaborations, artists Annie Briard, Tara Nicholson, Melany Nugent-Noble, Andreas Rutkauskas, Dr. prOphecy sun and Leah Weinstein explore land-based forms of creative research and interdisciplinary practice.

Investigating the concept of fieldwork as divergent from the Western scientific construct, these artists utilize various forms of art to explore our rapidly shifting environment, including sound recording, data gathering and visualization, sculpture, video and photography. Drawing on forms of narrative, activism and empathic witnessing, this exhibition asks what role ‘site’ plays within the notion of fieldwork. The exhibition seeks to consider how artists and their audiences might respond to the climate crisis through creative means.
