8-bridges | The Sea Around Us February 4 – 28, 2021 https://8-bridges.com/
Works by Chester Arnold, Sandow Birk, Lenka Clayton, Masami Teraoka Catharine Clark Gallery returns to 8-bridges with The Sea Around Us, a group presentation of works that draw on maritime imagery and themes to invite deeper questions around what it means to feel "adrift" in this moment where so many of us have experienced isolation and uncertainty, unsure of what rescue and survival will require. Drawing its title from environmentalist Rachel Carson's iconic 1951 book of the same name, the gallery's presentation reflects on how our broader psychological landscape can overwhelm and envelop us. At the same time, the works on view remind us of how creative practices provide us with a space in which to meditate on this experience of precarity, while also offering us the tools to moor ourselves gain. The Sea Around Us is presented in response to Nina Katchadourian's solo exhibition To Feel Something That Was Not of Our World, on view at the gallery and online through February 20, 2021.
