SUMMARY:A Sentient Land: Aesthetic Alliances with Forests\, Beetles\, Salt\, and Air
DESCRIPTION:Nelly-Eve Rajotte\, Les arbres communiquent entre eux à 220 hertz\, 2024. Video installation: 3-channel 4K video\, colour\, generative sound\, 25 min; modular synthesizer\, electrodes\, and tree. VFX artist and software developer: Codrin-Mihail Tablan Negrei. Courtesy of the artist. \n\n\n\nA Sentient Land: Aesthetic Alliances with Forests\, Beetles\, Salt\, and Air\, a four-person exhibition featuring works made through innovative intersections of science\, aesthetics\, and spirituality. \n\n\n\nArtists Margaux Crump\, Julia Krupa\, Eileen Ryan\, and Nelly-Eve Rajotte realize the potential of communicating directly and sharing authorship with the materials they use to make their art. Their artistic practices are intuitive and collaborative\, enabling trees\, stones\, salt\, and air\, among other materials\, to inform the creative process and the resulting potential meanings. Their methods include a cloud chamber\, oral history\, bio-sonification\, LIDAR scanning\, fumage\, and saining. \n\n\n\nThe resulting works of art forge stronger interspecies connections and increased empathy and hope for the future. These innovative modes of working also raise questions: do the artists translate on behalf of the materials? How do speculation and anthropomorphism fit into these explorations of restoration\, time\, and scale? The four immersive installations engage viewers in dynamic aesthetic experiences that may linger beyond the gallery as a shift in perspective. \n\n\n\nCurated by Shana Dumont Garr  \n\n\n\nExhibition catalogue featuring essays by Shana Dumont Garr\, Doctoral Candidate\, and Martina Tanga\, Ph.D. \n\n\n\nSentientLand-Guide-webDownload

SUMMARY:In Conversation: Julia Krupa and Eileen Ryan
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 26\, 12–1 PM \n\n\n\nJoin us for a conversation with artists Julia Krupa and Eileen Ryan as they discuss their work in A Sentient Land: Aesthetic Alliances with Forests\, Beetles\, Salt\, and Air. \n\n\n\nKrupa and Ryan will explore their innovative artistic practices that blur the boundaries between creator and material. Through methods\, including oral history and specimen collection\, forge collaborative relationships with natural elements—inviting beetles and herbs to become active participants in the creative process. \n\n\n\nThis conversation delves into the intersections of science\, aesthetics\, and spirituality that shape their work. Together\, these artists\, who created immersive installations in A Sentient Land\, address questions central to the exhibition: How do we translate on behalf of non-human materials? What role do speculation and anthropomorphism play in fostering interspecies connections? How can artistic practice generate greater empathy and hope for our shared future? \n\n\n\nFree and open to the public. A Sentient Land: Aesthetic Alliances with Forests\, Beetles\, Salt\, and Air is on view through March 28\, 2026\, at Emerson Contemporary\, 25 Avery Street\, Boston.

SUMMARY:Artist Presention and Mindfulness Exercise with Julia Krupa
DESCRIPTION:Julia Krupa\, Herstory Paintings\, installation view. \n\n\n\n\n\nArtist Julia Krupa creates large-scale paintings with herbs and other plants she forages from rural Poland\, where she is based. She is visiting Boston as one of the four artists in A Sentient Land: Artistic Alliances with Forests\, Beetles\, Salt\, and Air. Learn how Julia makes dyes with plants\, along with her doctoral research informing this process. A fascinating part of her process involves interviewing elder herbalists based in the Carpathian region of Southern Poland. Her field work and research evolve into paintings and innovative\, panoramic video documentation\, both of which are on view in the space where the workshop takes place. \n\n\n\nNo prior skills or materials required to attend.
