k.funmilayo aileru + Justin Levesque 

Curated by Edwige Charlot

This exhibition explores the mythmaking of Mars and the Arctic. At the intersections of speculation, imaginary and reality, artists Justin Levesque and k.funmilayo aileru capture the parallel lineage of both red Mars and the blue Arctic. Each brings into focus the social, ecological and political detritus of the colonizer/settler/explorer of these terrains. The show is presented in three parts, first - myth (propaganda), second - memory (erasure, past, echo) and third - projection (new futures, conjuring).
