A visual voyage through the enigmatic ocean, where science meets art and where myth meets reality
We know more about the surface of Mars than we do about our planet's oceans. And yet the ocean remains an alluring prospect to humanity: as an artistic icon, an object of scientific inquiry or even a financial resource. Encompassing art, film, literature, archeology and natural history, Ocean is a journey of discovery above and below the surface. Offering a cross section of art and cultural history, the exhibition and catalog are arranged into three themes: the ocean between art and science; the mythological ocean; and the Anthropocene ocean. From the woodblock prints of Utagawa Kuniyoshi to Jean Painleve's photographs of aquatic life and Susan Hiller's mapping of sea coasts, Ocean offers a mosaic view of this infinite yet imperiled source of life.
Artists include: John Akomfrah, Anna Atkins, Jeanette Ehlers, Caspar David Friedrich, Susan Hiller, Pierre Huyghe, Utagawa Kuniyoshi, Jean Painleve, Howardena Pindell, August Strindberg, Wolfgang Tillmans, Francesca Woodman.
