Artist Talk | Elizabeth Orr: Spirits In Rotations
Thurs | 7pm
Please join us for Spirits in Rotation, an artist talk by Elizabeth Orr.
“The Anthropocene denotes the geologic time we are in, defined by a shifted consciousness around ecology as humans influence and seemingly dominate the environment, an embrace of technology, and a self-consciousness of our place in history. Using the Anthropocene as an organizing concept, this talk will offer a meditation on where we never were: unlearning cultural constructions around consumption, and the spiritual subjectivity of viewership and image making. Recognizing perhaps a cyclical relationship to time, spirit, and intentionality as agents of geologic change.”
