- Summary:
- "United by their innovative use of natural materials, 22 international artists compose a space of multiple temporalities, invoking all things with which we share the land. For these 22 artists, materials operate as vital forces in the creation process. Their works are informed by ancestral practices and challenge common assumptions about the world. Stones, avocados, volcanic rock, cacao, achiote, clay and mineral pigments both perform art and behave artistically. Several Eternities in a Day considers ideas around materials as records of the living and repositories of cosmic memory, Brownness and cosmopolitan Indigeneity. Refusing to speak from an ethnographic distance, the exhibition and its catalog instead propose an approach based on permeability"-- Provided by publishers.
