Sounds like love
Exhibition
-> Apr 11 2024 – May 12 2024
GEM3.ART Gallery presents Sounds like love solo exhibition by Cadine Navarro, along with a meditative ceremony during the opening.
The installation is a model of how art can help us listen to, pay attention to, and cultivate a relationship with non-human life. Why is this important? Because the image of an inanimate world seems to feed our Earth-destroying habits. In Mexico, for example, what if we had a different relationship with corn? Navarro has carefully conceived a way to visualize the invisible vibrations of sound through her unique adaptation of a traditional marbling technique from the country where she was born and raised, Japan.

Navarro has carefully conceived a way to visualize the invisible vibrations of sound through her unique adaptation of a traditional marbling technique from the country where she was born and raised, Japan. Since 2014 she has been exploring the sound vibration of words and their meanings in different languages. Then she wanted to bring this same attention to ecological acoustics, as a practice to restore intimacy with the earth. With the current rise of research and interest around biophonic communication and signaling, she sought a way to tune into plants and eventually decided to listen directly to the seed, a brilliant and compact container for life. He has been successfully working with dry native seeds: from prairie grasses to rice and corn fields.
At Emma Molina Gallery, the protagonists of the show are four native strands of Teocintle, the ancient ancestor of corn. With an agricultural history of over 8,000 years and a basic diet in Mexico, SOUNDS LIKE LOVE aims to bring a new relationship and respect to the seeds that nourish us every day. The artist blends her own French-American-Japanese influences into an architectural space in which the participant will be cordially invited to enter a ceremonial and meditative world that rekindles us to the earth.
