COME CLOSER - Artist Talk #2
Amanda Piña / Isabelle Andriessen / Andrés Jaque
How alive can non-human forms be? What is their agency, and how are we as humans connected to these beings? In this second COME CLOSER Artist Talk, moderator Zeynep Kubat engages in a conversation with Isabelle Andriessen, Amanda Piña and Andrés Jaque.
Sound recording Artist Talk
In this second COME CLOSER Artist Talk, moderator Zeynep Kubat, independent curator, engages in a conversation with Isabelle Andriessen, Amanda Piña and Andrés Jaque.
The three artists explore transformation and metamorphosis in non-human entities. In Transspecies Kitchen (2022) by Andrés Jaque, plants and crops in the park release new energy through fermentation. Amanda Piña emphasizes how anemones and organisms at the bottom of the ocean form the soul of the ocean. And the changing animated sculptures by Isabelle Andriessen seem to yearn for life...
In their work, the three artists challenge the classical perspective where humans are central and invite us to reconsider our relationship with nature and other worlds. 'Non-human life,' the theme of our second Artist Talk.
You can listen to the entire recording below (in English).
