Viewing Hours

 

In Manifesto for Mutualistic Tendencies, Dao Nguyen and Kayla Anderson attempt to find intimacy with and build care for synanthropic creatures. Prodding at the miniature worlds nested alongside ours, the artists create playgrounds, sanctuaries, and narratives as bridges between human and non-human experience. The exhibition explores the erotic landscapes of others, and our unruly impulses towards sympoesis, or “making with”.

 

Kayla Anderson is a Chicago-based artist, writer, and educator. They spend their spare time staring lovingly into the eyes of insects.
