Join the Institute of Modern Art for Essay Club No. 6, led by artist Holly Anderson, exploring the chapter Viscosity from Timothy Morton’s Hyperobjects: Philosophy and Ecology after the End of the World (2013).
The discussion examines Morton’s concept of hyperobjects—phenomena that exist on scales beyond ordinary human experience, such as climate change, black holes and long-lasting human-made materials. The session will explore how these ideas influence perception, contemporary art and our understanding of the world.
Holly Anderson will discuss her interpretation of Hyperobjects in relation to her painting practice, which investigates visual perception and the experience of sunlight.
Essay Club welcomes artists, students, arts workers and anyone interested in critical conversations about contemporary culture. Pizza and drinks will be provided. Registration is essential as places are limited.
