Kirsten Stolle: Only You Can Prevent A Forest

August 26, 2022 - December 10, 2022

|Recurring Event (See all)

An event every day that begins at 12:00 am, repeating until December 10, 2022

Free

Using appropriation, wordplay, and humor, Kirsten Stolle co-opts advertising strategies used by agrichemical corporations to resurface and critique company history. For her exhibition, Only You Can Prevent A Forest,  Stolle will create photo-based collages, visual poetry interventions, text-based sound animation, a neon wall piece, and her first site-responsive sculptural installation. Building upon her decade-long research into companies like Bayer/Monsanto and Dow Chemical, the work will forefront historical ties to chemical warfare and reveal persistent greenwashing. Stolle’s work interrogates the global influence of chemical companies on our food supply and their consistent efforts to downplay the effects of their toxic products on our health and environment.
