Sustaining Small Acts

TENT, Rotterdam NL

25.03.2023 - 20.08.2023

The artists in Sustaining Small Acts develop their work from the connection with their physical environment. Their work often springs from what they find close to home, in the material of their daily surroundings: their own household waste, the weeds in the city, the ground under our feet. This everyday material is entwined with fundamental questions. Questions about humans as the only animals that foul their own nest, with planetary consequences. About the legacies of the western anthropocentric worldview, that can only measure the value of other living beings in terms of human use and gain – claiming and trading ownership and the right to exploit the earth.

Artists: Lara Almarcegui, Sol Archer, Lucie Havel, Jake Kelly, Carolin Lange & Dico Kruijsse, Jan Eric Visser.
