KWAG is pleased to welcome Boring Earth for a major new installation opening 18 July!
Boring Earth is an Earth-based collective concerned with discrepant, more-than-human worldings and the portals that jamb between. Their research considers eclipsed and emergent modalities of socionatural relations, muddling extractive dualities through pluriversal inquiry, elemental knowing, and play. A collaboration between artists Patrick Cruz and Laila Fox, and a slippery roster of rocky, watery, animal, vegetal, ethereal, and bacterial bodies, Boring Earth challenges the One-World myth, conjuring plural ways of perceiving/believing/relating across urbanized and invisible ecosystems.
Opening Reception + Artist Talk
Saturday, 18 July
2:00 - 4:00 p.m.
