press release
The sculptures of New York-based artist Elaine Cameron-Weir (* 1985 in Alberta, Canada) combine natural materials like minerals, incense and shells with handmade elements and industrial objects. Light blue glowing neon lights, metallic tables, mirrors and utensils from the medical and science industry as well as chainmail protective shirts and tanned leather evoke in interaction a laboratory for experiments. Accompanied by symbols like the parachute or the snake, which stands through its ability to molt for regeneration and renewal, she fuses organic with technoid, industrial and inanimate materials.
Like a futuristic alchemist she produces images that sensitize us about the technological developments and let us think about the possible approaching state of the posthuman. For her first institutional solo exhibition in Germany the Canadian artist develops a series of new sculptural works. The exhibition will be accompanied by a publication.
