“Where Time Takse Root”

In a society of ultra-modernity and hyperconnectivity, what does it mean to resist acceleration?

Between infinite production and the rejection of speed, the works produced question our relationship to technology and nature, particularly in the era of valuing fast production and quick reward over process and slowness.

Acceleration promises transformation yet produces cyclical redundancy.

Slowness appears as an alternative, yet risks disappearance.

We must imagine other ways of being, and investigate how one might exist within a system saturated with the homogenization of forms and algorithmic repetition.

This exhibition does not aim to resolve this tension.

It sustains it.

It stages practices that oscillate, overflow, and evade.

It does not propose a solution but rather creates a space for transgression by observing the inherent slowness of the garden.

Allowing us to construct a world where other rhythms, forms, and futures become conceivable.

This exhibition was made possible by the generosity of Kopli 93, community and educational garden. The central theme of the exhibition was heavily influenced by our collective perception of the vast, mystical space. We would like to thank Kristin Lang and the other gardeners of Kopli 93 for warmly welcoming and educating us, and the community of Kopli for allowing us to exhibit in their neighborhood.

Exhibiting artists: Esther Borrett, Nancy Bettina Beard, Coco Corbineau, Sadhbh Connolly, Kimberly Jüschke, Karolin Mägedik, Chloe McDougall, Elise Muchowski, and Tin Trong Nguyen.
