Artist Julian Charrière discusses his new exhibition Towards No Earthly Pole with Dr. Katherine Brodbeck, the DMA's Hoffman Family Senior Curator of Contemporary Art.
The latest iteration of the DMA’s Concentrations series features the work of Berlin-based French-Swiss artist Julian Charrière, whose work bridges the realms of environmental science and cultural history. This focused exhibition—Charrière’s first solo museum exhibition in the U.S.—provides immersive encounters with the artist’s melancholic and beautiful portraits of nature in the human era, culminating with his most recent video project, Towards No Earthly Pole. This large-scale cinematic environment considers Arctic glaciers’ borderless existence and presents intertwining narratives of colonialism, environment, and the geographical imaginary.
