| Summary: | In her most expansive publication to date, Simnikiwe Buhlungu takes the site of the ubiquitous water puddle as her starting point. With contributions from musicians, artists, curators, and scientists from around the world, the publication draws upon research related to hygrosummons (iter.01) - commissioned by Chisenhale Gallery, London and Kunstinstituut Melly, Rotterdam - and gathers an intertextual conversation around the literal and metaphorical possibilities of the water cycle...Delving into puddle microbiology amongst disciplines of art, science, geography, and history, Buhlungu questions the language of standardised scientific expression. Her ongoing inquiries into sensing instruments and invisible systems of knowledge, positions the puddle as a body of water with agency, exploring how knowledge is created, by who, and the ways in which it is encountered.--Chisenhale Gallery website. |
