We have spent several lifetimes lost, melting away in cosmic terror and ecstasy, howling at the moon, and licking wounds. It’s been a good time. There has been a deep change. They have seen a dark planet emerge with electric light, making the whole of a planet glow at night. Save the wilderness—hidden or obstructed. According to our bodies, we have been down here on Earth for so long.
Sarah Belknap and Joseph Belknap are interdisciplinary artists and educators. Stretching and playing with pareidolia and mythology, their work draws on the cosmos, deep time, conspiracy theories, science, and speculative fiction.
Working as a team since 2008, their art has been exhibited in Chicago, San Franscisco, LA, Brooklyn, Detroit, Columbus, Minneapolis, Kansas City and St. Louis. In addition, they have presented performances, public programs and workshops at institutions throughout Chicago, including the Chicago Cultural Center, Hyde Park Art Center, Links Hall, and the MCA. Their work has been shown in many group exhibitions and solo shows including:SFAI Galleries,the Columbus Museum of Art , The Arts Club of Chicago, the Chicago Artists’ Coalition, Western Exhibitions, Comfort Station, and at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. Their work has been published in many journals including ‘After Image’ and the Chicago Tribune and books; most recently, ‘Weather as Medium’ by Janine Randerson, in the Leonardo Series through MIT Press.
