Undomesticated Ground - Studio Seco

Studio Seco collective exhibition: Undomesticated Ground
Thurs 5th Dec 18 - 20h 
​
Undomesticated Ground brings together eight women artists with an artistic practice united through an intimate exploration with the natural environment and its elements. Referencing the book of Stacey Alaimo, of the same title, the ground is thus laid for an investigation of nature as a space for (re)creation, within the intersection of feminist theory, environmentalism, and the concept of nature itself.

In her book, Stacey Alaimo critiques representations of nature as a passive, objectified space, often tied to patriarchal systems of domination. The idea of “undomesticated ground” - as of the works featured in this show - challenges the tendency to domesticate and control both nature and women, recasting nature as a feminist space that offers a transformative framework for understanding ecological and social struggles.

This group exhibition marks a significant transition for studio seco, celebrating the end of a chapter as well as new beginnings.
