On Now::::: FRANCISCA DURAN: RESEARCH GARDEN: A COMPENDIUM OF LOST MOMENTS

Exhibition: October 27 - December 1, 2023

Phytogramming Workshop: November 4, 12–5 PM @factorymediacentre (sold out)

Please join us for the Opening Reception on Friday, November 10, 7–10 PM / Art Crawl

In “Francisca Duran: Research garden: a compendium of lost moments,” the experimental media artist takes her analog film practice away from the screen and creates a multisensory installation centred on plant-based images.

Duran’s solo exhibition raises questions about the meanings of iteration, archive, preservation and desire in a time of ecological crisis. Instead of providing clear answers, she offers an untidy compilation of phytograms, analog film, digital prints, loops, maps, charts, and optic objects for handling, hearing, smelling and viewing so that we can experience a garden of loss as she has tended it. Haptic, sensuous and philosophical, “Research garden” is an enticement to fumble in the dark by plantlight.
