PHI Montreal presents dual exhibitions by Kudsk Steensen and Pivi
In Montreal's Old Port, PHI is currently featuring simultaneous exhibitions by Paola Pivi and Jakob Kudsk Steensen. Steensen's engaging exhibition delves into modern ecological issues through virtual, sonic, and video experiences. The Danish artist emphasizes fieldwork in his creation of virtual environments, with previous endeavors including locations such as the collapsed ice cave at Switzerland's Glacier d'Arolla, Minnesota's Marcell Experimental Forest, deserted tourist resorts, New York's American Museum of Natural History, Bora-Bora, and volcanic seabeds near the Azores. Each site is pivotal for digitally documenting and contemplating the swift changes in ecological landscapes.
