The exhibition frames the temporal—and the assorted markers of change through which we observe the terrain of everyday life —by presenting works that variously, yet collectively, produce knowledge through discourses on place, landscape, language, abstraction, and embodied presence. With a focus on expressed murmurings, both felt and clearly distinct, the exhibition proposes an attentive poetics, leading the viewer to consider the construction of landscape, the register of its reshaping and the nature of its textured holdings.
The exhibition features works by: Cecilia Bonilla, Amanda Bradley, Adler Guerrier, Quisqueya Henriquez and Pepe Mar, Kathleen Hudspeth, Legna Rodríguez Iglesias, G. A. Jakubovics, Rolf Julius, T. Eliott Mansa, Cinthia Marcelle, Marron et Masqué, Terence Price II, Karen Rifas, Anastasia Samoylova, and Onajide Shabaka.
“Terrain is a relation of power, with a heritage in geology and the military, the control of which allows the establishment and maintenance of order. As a ‘field’, a site of work or battle, it is a political-strategic question.” Elden, S. Land, Terrain, Territory. Progress in Human Geography, 2010;34:799-817.
