Elaine Whittaker, "Ambient Plagues"

Have you walked out of a pandemic movie lately with the hair raised on the back of your neck? Not because of the throes of flesh eating zombies but because the guy who sat beside you was coughing the whole time? We are surrounded by microbes, are composed of microbes, and we are terrified of them. We live in a porous world, in porous bodies. The possibility of being breached, infected, and losing body integrity is always present. Ambient Plagues is a mixed media installation that explores this invisible world, a world teeming with microbial life, and the possibility of infection.

The Opening Reception for Elaine Whittaker's Ambient Plagues is on August 4th from 7-10 pm.

The show runs until September 23rd.
