About the show
Jia-Jen Lin’s Treading on Thin Ice contemplates human conditions under progressive catastrophes resulting from social issues and climate change. By employing the concept of landscape as traces of human history as a battleground and an extension of the human body, Jia-Jen Lin presents a post-landscape where nature, human activities, and materiality intersect.
R. Eric McMaster’s Drift is a two-channel video installation featuring two musicians playing an original, reactive composition as they are set adrift in the ocean on separate, custom-built rafts. As the musicians physically drift away from one another, their ability to hear each other diminishes causing the duet to slowly fall apart.
The Sea was walking the earth with a heavy heel is a video exhibition guest curated by Ombretta Agró Andruff and featuring videos by Ursula Biemann, Atul Bhalla, Tania Candiani, Shezad Dawood, and Miguel Sbastida. Water, in all its beauty, might, and potential menace is what connects the five videos presented in the exhibition.
