What art have I seen? Ecstatic Materialisms

Posted in Exhibitions by chrisfremantle on May 21, 2026

Exhibition by GSA 3rd Year at The House Arts Collective.

“A material response to Angela McClanahan ‘s lecture”. The exhibition statement starts with a fab quote from Zoe Todd. I first came across Zoe Todd’s writing when a piece on fossil fuels as kin was included in the Metabolic Studio readings on the Oil Industry in LA. More recently I listened to her talk at the Center for Climate Justice. I think kin isn’t just relationality. Our kin are entities in themselves with identities and agency as well as in relation to us. That being said I think anyone who can make work from the cheapest white bread, turning it into a spot the bread game is destined to win the Turner Prize. The whole show is really strong.
