In Gallery II

Catherine Richardson and Brooke Holve look at the global impact of our much coveted cell phones have on the environment.

Digging deep into the components of a cell phone, the artists reveal links between its “smartness,” the mining industries and humans’ relationship with the earth.

The artists hope that this exhibition will inspire the viewer to look within the screen to see more than just communication and navigational tools— instead to reflect on our personal attitudes and interdependencies with the earth.

The exhibition is a part of EXTRACTION: Art on the Edge of the Abyss, a multimedia, multi-venue, cross-border art intervention which seeks to provoke societal change by exposing and interrogating the negative social and environmental consequences of industrialized natural resource extraction.
