Consider the tremors of our histories caught in a feedback loop, rippling and reverberating. They accumulate and meander to be passed on to new forms, new organisms. This inheritance, this ever-transforming culture, changes us and resonates through us. What possibilities are created in the transmissions of inherited rites, genetics, ecologies, knowledge, and power? What codes are inherited in material histories, and how do we cut across their futures in skills and techniques, aesthetics and forms?
Brief Histories presents Inheritance, a group exhibition, on view June 18 – July 29, 2022.
