Reception: SPEAKING FROM THE CORE
AUTOMAT is pleased to present Speaking From the Core, an exhibition of work by Andrea Krupp, Anna Rotty, and Kara Springer.
The grinding of time, the ceaseless collision of the Earth's crust, and the human-driven displacement of natural resources all sculpt the shifting grounds we inhabit. Tectonic wounds and arteries of minerals and waterways formed by Earth’s core have defined the movement of human civilizations for millennia. And now, modern structures of industrial extraction have granted humans the capability to rearrange landscapes for themselves. Rapid exploration and extraction have forced materials and bodies across continents, reshaping landscapes and in turn, influencing cultures and psyches worldwide.
In Speaking From the Core, artworks by Andrea Krupp, Anna Rotty, and Kara Springer explore the influence of material extraction and abstraction on our worldview through the structural, material, and bodily. Within their explorations of geology is a lineage of all life that connects current and past civilizations, industries, and landscapes.
Speaking From the Core will be on view at AUTOMAT Collective on Saturdays from 12-5pm from September 7 through September 28.
Curated by Danielle Degon Rhodes.
