Overburden: Geology, Excavation and Metamorphosis in a Chaotic Age, Oxygen Art Centre, Nelson BC and Kootenay Gallery of Art, Castlegar, BC

A large-scale collaborative group exhibition and symposium curated by Maggie Shirley and Genevieve Robertson. Overburden brings together a group of artists whose shared concerns address geology and its relationship to shifting climate patterns and resource extraction, in both a regional and global context. Artists respond to mining histories in the Kootenay area, arctic ice melt that is uncovering paleontological data, mining reclamation practices, Indigenous sovereignty and glacial seismic events. While some artists bear witness to harmful extraction practices and an ever more unstable world, others seek to find caring, embodied and imaginative ways to come into relationship with the geologic material under our feet and interwoven into our everyday.
