Reception: Wednesday, April 2 at 6:30 - 9:00pm
In this trans-disciplinary, intermedia installation, Pavier partners with her long-time friend, Fred Berry (BSc Honours Biochemistry) and The Department of Biology in a collaborative exploration of the single celled micro-algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
Pavier and Berry pair artistic and scientific research to present iterations of the cell’s phototaxis capabilities and its bright green chlorophyll fluorescence. The works articulate the feeling of wonder of engaging with what was once microscopic becoming tangible and embodied.
Pavier’s relational art practice engages friendship as a methodology for exchange-based research. This extends her existing practices as a birth-worker, food-sovereigntist, and other modalities that fall under ethics of care.
Artist Talk: Wednesday, April 2 at 6:00 - 6:30pm
