“Unearthed Foundations” presents three disparate but equally poignant video pieces that deal with specific mined materials and the utilitarian realities that have been ascribed to them. Despite their contrasting approaches—an observational piece, a critical satire and a film essay—these works look upon mineral exploitation with a critical gaze. Sometimes ironic and performative, sometimes documentary and poetic, sometimes quiet and elastic, this program hopes to broaden perspectives on the rocks that have been unearthed in order to shape, construct and support the present moment.
