Horizon Ablaze is an international exhibition launching this summer at Taichung Art Museum, Taiwan, co-curated by a transnational team from Taiwan, the Philippines, and Panama.
Curators Takamori Nobuo, Tessa Maria Guazon, Juan Canela, and Jennifer Choy bring together over 30 artists from five continents across 3 floors in the gallery, to explore diverse responses to “heat.”
The Songs of Lyrebirds Sung To Glaciers is an other-than-human song singing- bookending the 2020 Australian summer fires between the sonic memories of the lyrebirds and the reflective properties of ice.
Four lyrebird songs from four forests affected in the Black summer fires, east coast Australia, were played to four glaciers in the Southern Alps of New Zealand/ Kā Tiritiri o te Moana, where the ash and dust from these fires landed.
Considering these two landscapes, connected now by the ash and dust from the fires, embedded in glacial ice. To reflect one within the other; the birds narration of its bush, echoed to the NZ glacier landscape of the NZ Southern Alps / Kā Tiritiri o te Moana.
