MMXVI, 2016 - Marina Pinsky
about this work
This edition is a series of 38 unique photographs, taken from the digital slideshow Departement of Conservation (2015) Marina Pinsky created as part of her solo exhibition Dyed Channel at Kunsthalle Basel in 2016.
Department of Conservation brings together a slideshowlike-choreography of images from the Roche Historical Archives, alongside other sites such as the Museum of Modern Art of New York’s art conservation offices and the UK’s Millennium Seed Bank. Encapsulating that exhibition’s preoccupation with the split between nature and culture, one realizes that every one of the works grapples with the imposition of technology on natural things.
Each edition comes with a copy of Dyed Channel, the catalogue of Pinsky's exhibition at Kunsthalle Basel.
