Jesse Krimes “Strange Roots”
Burning in Water
This event has ended.
Encompassing free-standing sculptures, mobiles and installations, Strange Roots is Jesse Krimes’ second solo show with Burning in Water Gallery.
The artworks in Strange Roots embody a curious hybridity of both materials and processes, incorporating digitally-printed plastic substrates, botanicals and other natural materials and handblown glass.
During his time in prison - a significant period of which was spent in solitary confinement - Krimes used his artwork as a means of scrutinizing the intersections between individual and collective identities, the impact of mass media on socio-cultural perceptions and the coercive power of the state.
5 years have passed since his 6 years prison sentence ended. And in Strange Roots, he now centers these concerns largely on “the invisible cloud of the internet,” which he considers to be a space “where traces of social protocols, interactions and ghosts are captured, archived and processed through the lens of cultural value.”
