Hannah Rowan's Hydrofeminist Exhibition at C+N Canepaneri in Milan
Hannah Rowan (Brighton, 1990) presents a solo exhibition at C+N Canepaneri gallery in Milan, exploring the relationship between water and the human body. Central to the show are works like 'Petrichor (Living Waters)', where ice melts in blown glass ampoules onto clay, and 'Vessels of Touch', where water drips from casts of the artist's hands onto a copper base, causing oxidation. A video, 'Tides in the Body', documents Rowan's explorations in Greenland, studying tides and embracing ice with her naked body. The exhibition is grounded in Astrida Neimanis's hydrofeminist theories, which reject nature's immutability and emphasize interdependence among watery bodies. The artist positions her own body as a vessel for this ideology, inviting viewers to reflect on the fluidity of matter and identity.
