RIPARIA marks the Ecogeoglyphic Observatory’s 4th exhibition at MING Studios. The Ecogeoglyphic Observatory is a post-disciplinary eco-collective that explores historical and present-day industrial and residential development in the Boise Valley, and the effects that this process has over the plants, animals, water, stone, soil and people who exist here.

All around us are meshes of life interwoven, visible and invisible to the human eyeball.
Gathering at the water's edge, we look into the weird slime-world that points back to the beginning of life on this planet that made itself alive.

   A beaver swims through a still pond at dusk, carrying worldmaking in her bright orange cutting teeth. The moon ripples in reflection, stars behind.

   A steaming trickle of hot spring water rises from golf course grass, forming an algal mat over several hours. A heron fills half the sky for a moment.
   The river sings in a thousand voices, there is only to listen. We swim to the center and wait.


RIPARIA is an exploration of these matters-of-living here, the conditions for life, for life now and life ongoing, and the leaky, globular, soaked, porous, interclinging configurations of livingness.These drops of snowmelt soak slimy strands and become watery urgencies; they leak and limn through the deterministic plans of capitalist development in our worlds. They form a gathering stream.
