Anne Duk Hee Jordan: Making Kin 3.0
What would happen if we stopped seeing ourselves as individuals or competitors and started seeing ourselves as allies? Anne Duk Hee Jordan tries to answer this question with the exhibition Making Kin 3.0
KIOSK (Ghent) hosts Hanne Due Hee Jordan‘s first solo exhibition, “Making Kin 3.0″, a fluid, eco-utopian installation.
The artist questions what would happen if we stopped seeing ourselves as individuals or competitors and started seeing ourselves as allies? What if we functioned as organisms that can only survive when they are in conjunction with each other?
In her performances, installations, motorised sculptures, and edible landscapes, Jordan explores the intersection of art, science, and mythology. Humorously, she opens the door to an artistic universe inspired by marine fauna, biology, sexuality and procreation, nutrition, and ecology. In this way, he creates romantic machines that copy or transform biological processes and chemical reactions between living organisms and inanimate material. The exhibition title refers to biologist and philosopher Donna Haraway’s 2016 book Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene.
