Who Speaks for the Oceans?
@ Tarble Arts Center
2010 9th St, Charleston, IL 61920
Opening Friday, September 22nd, from 5PM - 7PM
On view through Saturday, January 27th
Celebrate the opening of the Tarble’s Fall 2023 exhibition cycle with a reception and live performance by Dr. Bradley D Decker, Instructor of Music Composition and Technology.
This exhibition proposes new and challenging ways to shift our understandings of and relationships to whales and other nonhuman animals. Through interdisciplinary artworks in video, installation, painting, tapestry, music, performance, and more, Who Speaks for the Oceans? analyzes epistemological and historical knowledge built around what we think we know about life in the ocean through the charismatic “whale song.” As we approach a crucial moment concerning the condition of our planet, listening to whale vocalizations and other marine creatures can bring us closer to understanding their needs and encouraging action toward healthier stewardship of the oceans.
This exhibition was organized by Alaina Claire Feldman, Director and Curator of Mishkin Gallery, Baruch College; David Gruber, Distinguished Professor of Biology and Environmental Sciences, Baruch College; and Jennifer Seas, Director and Chief Curator of the Tarble Arts Center, Eastern Illinois University.
Featuring: Ant Farm, Ursula Biemann, Else Bostelmann, Myrlande Constant, Jacques Cousteau and Louis Malle, Pia Dehne, Miho Hatori, Amber Hawk Swanson, Will E. Jackson, Joan Jonas, Jenny Kendler and Andrew Bearnot, Dominique Knowles, Chris Marker and Mario Ruspoli, and Roger Payne
