‘Geologic Time’ was a month-long Banff International Curatorial Institute (BICI) residency programme organised by the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity taking place during autumn 2017. Conceived by Latitudes (Lead Faculty), and with the participation of Irish artist Sean Lynch as Guest Faculty, the programme asked how a geologic lens might affect artistic and curatorial practice.
As the Earth’s history and system dynamics absorb the effects of modern human actions, what is at stake for cultural production? Art histories are full of biophysical processes, from the enabling effects of industrial fossil capitalism, to the legacies...of landscape representation. Yet how might curatorial and artistic practice venture beyond the great gulf between society and nature that was forged by a nineteenth-century understanding of human activities?
Through a program of fieldwork, seminars, and independent study ten curators, writers, researchers, historians, and artists spent their time “thinking with” geology as a potential way to consider non-conventional, deep-time perspectives on curating, exhibition making, programming, and fieldwork within contemporary art.
