Event Details:

Adam Basanta's Every Beloved Object returns to ancient architectural techniques as it looks toward new systems of human consumption. By returning to basic motions of trash collection and architectural assembly, we reflect on our early origins to create new monuments to everyday debris.

Every Beloved Object is a multimedia exhibition exploring the intersection between ancient ruins, recycling technology, and contemporary waste. Fragments are valued in archeology because they uncover more about human behaviour than lavish gems or relics. Trash becomes artifact. A potshard may reveal archaic customs around communal gathering, a broken seal may illustrate sacred mythology or trace trading routes across newly divided landscapes.
