Rachel Youn

The plants agitated by machines in Rachel Youn’s wild moving sculptures seem to comment on this, as well as on genetic manipulation and the shift to cyborgs and robotisation.

Artists have a unique ability to forge new relationships to the age-old question of man vs. nature, using romantic research methodologies that tap into personal history and hopefulness to imagine a idea of the present and future.

Artists continue a tradition of contemplating the relationship of humans and the planet we inhabit using methods that are not necessarily marred by political interest and devastating scientific fact.

The exhibition works to provide expansive responses to current issues of the environment. Decentering a singular authoritative stance on a solution, the exhibition allows viewers to form their own relationship to nature.
