image from David Sullivan's site
I visited Lawndale Art Center this weekend and one artist that caught my eye was David Sullivan. Sullivan's Fugitive Emissions installation includes three looping videos that explore the relationship between biological matter and the petro-chemical process. The imagery, constantly shifting in focus and forms, offers a visual approach that reflects the amalgamation of chemical sciences with living biology. The animations, created while Sullivan was at A Studio in the Woods, enter an already expansive discourse exploring the post-modern reality of the seen and unseen; questioning how, as a culture, progress and its impact on our very lifestyle can so easily depend on abominations of nature. Fugitive Emissions highlights the complex but not unfamiliar issues surrounding human intervention, through the framework of science, with our natural environment.
