8 jugglers are found simultaneously on a crosswalk, provoking noise made by cars that are eager to go through the traffic light. Ever two acrobats get onto the street in order to make a barrier under the green traffic light. The power of the fire and the acrobat’s skills challenge the loud horn of the cars.

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.

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.
