Energy Fields Vibrations Of The Pacific

Artists meditate on the earthly phenomenon of vibrational fields in the Pacific region

This catalog is produced to accompany the exhibition Energy Fields: Vibrations of the Pacific, co-organized by Fulcrum Arts and Chapman University. The project invites artists, scientists, composers and cultural historians to explore vibration as a scientific phenomenon as well as a conduit for sensory experience and ways of knowing. Vibrations and their resulting waves shape our planet in myriad ways. But vibrations are also fundamental to human perception and consciousness, allowing us to register sound, light, color and movement. Energy Fields considers the Pacific Rim, home to the earth’s most seismically active continental plates, as a zone where different vibrations of different types powerfully intersect, informing our understanding of the world as well as shaping unique cultural practices.
Artists include: David Haines, Joyce Hinterding, Steve Roden, Malena Szlam, Alba Triana, Virginia Katz.
