UQ Art Museum Assembles Artists to Defiantly Proclaim “We Are Electric” and Imagine Post-carbon Futures
“We Are Electric: Extraction, Extinction and Post-Carbon Futures” opens at the University of Queensland (UQ) Art Museum in Australia. Foregrounding “bodily and planetary flows, the politics of extraction and exchange,” artists including Diane Borsato, Haines & Hinterding, and the Institute for Queer Ecology urge action and offer paths forward; using the trappings of Big Oil—rusty drill bits and barrels—Quandamooka artist Megan Cope’s Untitled (Death Song) (image, 2020) sounds a dire alarm.
