This Time of Useful Consciousness.

This Time of Useful Consciousness
The Dowse Art Museum, Lower Hutt
14 April – 30 July 2017

This Time of Useful Consciousness brings together artists from Aotearoa concerned with political ecology—the relationships between political, economic, and social factors and environmental issues—and with the urgent need for action on climate change. Addressing concerns that range from land use to cloud computing, and from global supply chains to indigenous responses to coastal erosion, the exhibition gathers artists interested in our capitalist and ecological limits.

My contribution, The Ground Swallows You Part II, consists of three mirror-steel sheets suspended on poles and laser-etched with official documents relating to the ongoing importation of phosphate rock from the disputed territory of Western Sahara by New Zealand fertiliser companies; alongside the work I released a second publication in The Ground Swallows You series.
