Our Abyssal Kin
Sep 18 - Jan 24
5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Alyce de Roulet Williamson Gallery at ArtCenter College of Design
1700 Lida St, Pasadena CA 91103
ArtCenter presents Our Abyssal Kin, a new installation by artists Patty Chang and David Kelley.
The installation is the artists’ most recent collaborative project exploring the impacts of deep-sea mining, and tells the story of deep-sea ecology within historical struggles for agency and liberation.
A central artifact of the large-scale installation, “Stray Dog Hydrophobia” (2024) is a four-channel video that poetically narrates the ocean’s role as a resource. Glass and ceramic sculptures with animal and mineral specimens also invite viewers to meditate on our relationships with the pasts, presents, and futures of the vast abyss.
