Mother Mercury

Mother Mercury is an exhibition celebrating the fleeting flows of energy resulting from new life, challenging stereotypical views about parenthood. It brings together four artists working with image, sound and sculpture, whose work tests the boundaries of language and power structures, with their practices radically shifted through raising children. Within the cargotecture of CRATE, you are invited to see the glowing threads of visual history unravel, watch interstellar videos, listen to multiple voices and navigate the space and surrounding community with a different energy.
