The Goxxip Girl Collective is excited to announce Brumation, an exhibition reflecting on stasis; on view at School 33. Our preoccupation with stimulation and instant gratification in an accelerated world – an adherence to a 12 month calendar year, a 7 day work week and a 9 to 5 schedule – has prompted an investigation into our compromised relationship with nature. Drawing on the biological phenomenon of brumation – hibernation-like behavior observed in certain reptiles – this collection of works explores themes of dormancy, survival, the symbiotic relationships between environment(s) and organism(s), and the perpetual tension between consciousness and unconsciousness. Brumation investigates cyclical patterns in nature, the transformative processes of rest and renewal, and the disillusionment surrounding the human experience.
