Yellowfields: Overburden
Eleanor Duffin, Olivia Jones, Abigail Reynolds, Libita Sibungu, with Suzanne Lacy and Sharon Allen
Obsidian Coast is delighted to host Overburden, an online presentation of work by South West artists.
Overburden celebrates the launch of the eponymous publication produced as part of yellowfields, an independent project curated by Georgia Hall. The publication is one volume in a series of three, featuring artist texts by Eleanor Duffin, Olivia Jones, Abigail Reynolds and Libita Sibungu, and an essay by Elisa Kay.
Overburden centres on the materiality of the earth and contemporary art practices that examine our connection to and (over)consumption of the landscapes within which we live. Considering the material archives embedded to our natural environments, these artists enquire into geography, migration, geology, extractivism and visual perceptions of the earth.
This online presentation hosted by Obsidian Coast features sound and moving image work linked to the publication. Olivia Jones, Elisa Kay, Abigail Reynolds and Libita Sibungu will gather with the yellowfields project curator Georgia Hall for an online discussion on Saturday 7 November, 4-5pm.
If you would like to join the discussion, please RSVP by email to hello.yellowfields[a]gmail.com to receive the event link on the day.
