HELLO, SEEKERS
A GROUP EXHIBITION FEATURING
AMELIA BAUER, ERIC GRAHAM, AND PARSLEY STEINWEISS
Viewing the American experience through the lens of “spiritual seeking,” Black Ball Projects is pleased to present an exhibition of three artists whose work is in dialogue with searching. Counterculture movements of the 1960’s and 70’s and earlier ones associated with the occult all produced spiritual seekers who strove to redefine the human condition and challenge cultural orthodoxies by looking both forward and backward in time.
Hello, Seekers examines three artists that are engaged with a type of seeking that relates to the individual’s role in experiencing and/or believing in transitory phenomena. Each of their practices fabricates meaning and belief systems from fragments of technology, history, nature and mythology. The resulting work questions the nature of experience in our modern world and is in dialogue with American spiritualism.
