ARTIST TALK Friday, June 21, 7PM
OPENING Saturday, June 29, 7PM
EXHIBITION June 29 - August 24, 2019

Strongly influenced by the origins of activist, feminist and socially engaged art, British artist Rory Pilgrim works with others through different methods of dialogue, collaboration and workshops. For his first solo exhibition in the USA, Pilgrim exhibits his debut music video album Software Garden. Made over 2 years, the album brings together multiple collaborations to explore how we come together both from behind and beyond our screens. 
 
While at MING Studios Pilgrim will work on a new experimental film -‘The Undercurrent’ that explores the predicament of climate crisis. Like an undercurrent that flows in different directions below the surface, this emergency is often felt but not clearly seen. With narratives of climate change largely viewed as looming in the future or somewhere else, Pilgrim instead aims to consider how the political realities run through our own personal and everyday lives through experiences of home, shelter and transition.

Viewing the increasing amount of online video as an ever evolving global eco-system, a series of workshops invite people to explore how we use the camera to share our stories and as a tool for activism. Working with musicians from Boise, Pilgrim creates a score that puts into words and music how we and the landscapes we inhabit ‘speak’ and swim against the currents of potential irreversible loss.
 
Rory Pilgrim’s recent solo exhibitions include Between Bridges, Berlin (2019), andriesse-eyck galerie, Amsterdam (2018), South London Gallery, London (2018) and Site Gallery Sheffield (2016). In 2019, Pilgrim opened Images Festival Toronto and presented large scale performances at Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin and Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam.
