criteria exhibition at A+D gallery, chicago



criteria
at: averill and bernard leviton , A+D gallery, chicago, USA
from: january 15 – february 28, 2009

the exhibition 'criteria' (curated by emiliano godoy and jimena acosta) explores the ethics and politics that embody
contemporary notions of sustainability. through a variety of media that gathers artworks and unconventional
design approaches, this exhibition examines the utopia behind efforts to modify and push late capitalist
consumption patterns as well as address the current contradictions between industrial and natural landscapes.

criteria juxtaposes critical and disenchanted views with poetic and symbolic discourses.
using art as a lens through which our unsustainable systems of production and consumption
can be evaluated from an ethical perspective, the work in this exhibition pierces skepticism
and challenges our preconceived notions on environmental and social trends.

criteria features work by:
siri brekke, edward burtynsky, dante busquets, goldiechiari, máximo gonzález,
aylin kayser + cristian metzner, jason middlebrook, MINE™, paolo pennuti,
diego pérez, ricochet studio, britta riley and rebecca bray, ariel rojo, vitamin,
uli westphal and craig zucker.
