Terra Incognita at 701 Center for Contemporary Art


  • 701 Center for Contemporary Art 701 Whaley Street Columbia, SC, 29201 United States (map)

In Terra Incognita, Naomi Falk and Greg Stuart present a landscape of 2x4s and textiles arranged throughout the gallery as a constellation of hills, islands, or indicators. This bellwether landscape, set against a larger and more profoundly unsettling multi-channel audio collage, is composed of various sonic materials, including meditation tapes, sleep aid recordings, and environmental and electronic sounds. The slowly shifting soundscape creates a sense of underlying movement and undulation throughout the installation.

Terra Incognita places viewers inside a dynamic and curious environment fractured with subtle shifts, signs of life, and whispers of alarm, drifting toward an uncertain future. As such, the work reflects the spatially and temporally dispersed forces of the late-capitalist-driven climate catastrophe, simultaneously ever-present yet often beyond our everyday perceptions.
