Disruptive Ecologies at Villa Terrace Art Museum

Disruptive Ecologies is a group exhibition at the Villa Terrace Art Museum that explores how artists challenge oppressive systems and create connections with communities, themselves, and the Earth. Featuring Lois Bielefeld, Vanessa Filley, Tanya Gill, Rita Grendze, Tulika Ladsariya, Nirmal Raja, and Marzena Ziejka, the exhibition showcases contemporary craft, decorative arts, photography, video, sculpture, printmaking, and gardening. Some artists have created new works inspired by the museum's history and architecture. The show invites viewers to see art as a powerful tool for connection and change.

Over the past year I've had the delight to perform and make new Studies at the Villa Terrace. Over the course of 5 filming sessions, I curiously investigate the Villa through movement, collaboration, and play in Broom Studies, Chair Studies and a Pile Study (my first institutional pile study). This work will be in conversation with a selection of artists whom I have regularly been meeting with since the pandemic.
