William Drummond - "There must be moths"

Wir laden Sie herzlich zur Eröffnung der Ausstellung "There must be moths” von William Drummond im basis-Projektraum am 23. März um 19 Uhr ein. Die multimediale Ausstellung beschließt William Drummond's dreimonatige AIR_Frankfurt Künstler-Residency bei basis e.V. Frankfurt und geht der Frage nach, wie sich die industralisierte Stadt und ihr eigenes Ökosystem gegenseitig beeinflussen.
«During the industrial revolution we have discovered that insects mutate to adapt to the new ecosystem, the industrial melanism makes a moth darker to preserve itself from danger. During my residency I have studied this fracture between the city and natural space, from the botanical garden to the industrial area. I have tried to imagine how insects will mutate through permanent technological changes between dystopy and nostalgy, I wait for the insects. » (William Drummond)
AIR_Frankfurt ist eine Kooperation von basis e.V. und CEAAC Strasbourg und wird unterstützt vom Kulturamt der Stadt Frankfurt.

William Drummond - "There must be moths"

We cordially invite you to the opening of the exhibition “There must be moths” by William Drummond (*1988, Paris) on March 23rd at 7pm at basis project space.
The multimedial exhibition concludes William Drummond’s three-months AIR_Frankfurt artist residency at basis e.V. Frankfurt and traces questions about how our industrialised city influences its very own ecosystem and vice versa.
