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

Crump will share insights into her process of working with materials as co-creators\, exploring how stones\, beetles\, and other elements inform the artistic outcome. \n\n\n\nTogether\, they’ll explore questions at the heart of A Sentient Land: How do we share authorship with non-human collaborators? What does it mean to translate on behalf of materials? How can art deepen our empathy and connection across species? \n\n\n\nThis conversation offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from two artists reimagining the relationship between maker and material\, challenging us to consider the agency of the more-than-human world. \n\n\n\nFree and open to the publicNo registration required
