Channing Hansen features in 'Energy Fields'
Energy Fields: Vibrations of The Pacific is an exhibition, publication, and series of public programs co-presented by Fulcrum Arts and Chapman University. Curated by Robert Takahashi Novak and Lawrence English, the exhibition presents a diverse and dynamic collection of works from artists working in Japan, Australia, Canada, Chile, New Zealand, and the USA.
The exhibition investigates the fluctuation of time and space through gravitational waves, the geologic dynamism of tectonic and seismic activities and examines how sound, light, and electro-magnetic spectra affect the body and perception. Energy Fields recognizes the Pacific as a zone of entanglement where these energetic forces resonate amidst the world’s most seismically active continental plates. The show, publication, and performance program invite new understandings of how these energetic forces shape scientific and cultural practices going forward into the 21st century.
Energy Fields presents a series of public programs including artist talks, lectures, and performances including presentations from William Basinski, Ellen Fullman + Theresa Wong, Annea Lockwood, and Jeneen Frei Njootli, amongst others.
Energy Fields: Vibrations of The Pacific is also presented as part of PST ART: Art & Science Collide. This regional event explores the intersections of art and science, both past and present. PST ART is presented by Getty.
Exhibiting artists include Channing Hansen, Virginia Katz, Jeneen Frei Njootli, Minoru Sato, Malena Szlam, Steve Roden, Ross Manning, Mo Zareei, David Haines and Joyce Hinterding, Lauren Bon and The Metabolics Studio and Alba Triana.
