The Anderson and VCUarts are pleased to present Primordial Birth, a solo exhibition by graduate student kodiCrone (aka Miri Sluis) (Kinetic Imaging). Primordial Birth explores autistic listening as part of an ongoing investigation into the way sound affects visual perception, as well as the presumed dichotomy between Self and Other. The exhibition can be experienced from February 6th – March 4th with an opening reception on February 6th from 5-8 pm.
Exhibition Statement:
Primordial Birth speaks to human existence as part of a greater planetary whole. Depicting the creation of life as begot from water, light, and sound, the piece aims to deepen awareness of the fragile underpinnings and ecological basis of human life. Referencing Egyptian, Hindu, Abrahamic, occult, and alchemical knowledge, Primordial Birth questions assumptions about the origins, contemporary situation, and future of life on planet Earth. kodiCrone (aka Miri Sluis) creates autistic aurally-led sound and visual installations to explore the influence of sound on the perception of place, including the body and the more-than-human. They engage in practice based art research to investigate the overlap of autistic experiences and altered states of consciousness as related to sound.
