What does the underneath sound like, what is the Earth telling us, what sorts of motions will create a dialogue for a human to become its hum? Lucía Hinojosa Gaxiola’s multi-media installation “Sonando el Suelo / Sounding the Ground,” is a grace note of sublimity, activating just such a hum. Curated by Nick Herman the exhibition weaves together selections from different projects with an emphasis on the materiality of her new book, The Telaraña Circuit (Tender Buttons Press).
