CF000313 (Chris Jordon, 2009)
Exit Art tackled the notion that “global environmental struggles are creating an aesthetic” by mounting the photographic exhibit Ecoaesthetic: The Tragedy of Beauty on the main floor and hosting the SEA Poetry Series No. 4 in its cozy subterranean digital theatre on July 27, 2010.
The photographic highlights pictured here include Chris Jordan’s Midway Project, 2009, which documents the devastating impact plastic pollution has had on Midway Atoll albatross chicks in collage-like compositions, and Susannah Sayler’s Glacial, Icecap and Permafrost Melting XLVII: Cordillera Blanca, Peru, 2008 documenting a vanishing glacier, juxtaposing the limitations of attempting to capture geological time pitted against human time, capturing stasis as a positive state.
