Zusammenfassung:Features work by 10 artists who consider the impact of industry and contemporary civilization in the current geological epoch. This exhibition brings together ten contemporary artists to explore some locations where we might consider driving the 'golden spike' that would mark the beginning of the Anthropocene era, such as the surreal landscapes of oil fields (Marina Zurkow), areas affected by petrochemical production (Steve Rowell), nuclear testing and waste disposal sites (Eve Andrée Laramée), and waterways changed by industry, human population, and storms brought about by climate change (Roderick Coover and Scott Rettberg). Other sites reflect more dispersed entities like the polluted atmosphere (Amy Balkin), risking sea levels (Eric Corriel's nighttime projection), plastic refuse (Yevgeniya Kaganovich) and even digital space (Xavier Cha's performance), and Natalie Jeremijenko's 'Signs of (Intelligent) life offers a small-scale, high-impact solution to creating more biodiversity in mono-cultural urgan environments and forms an adaptive step in remediating ecological change
