Terra Incognita: The Post & Courier: Review
Terra Incognita
In Terra Incognita, Naomi Falk and Greg Stuart present a landscape of 2x4s and textiles arranged throughout the gallery as a constellation of hills, islands, or indicators. This bellwether landscape is set against a larger and more profoundly unsettling multi-channel audio collage composed of various sonic materials, including meditation tapes, sleep aid recordings, and environmental and electronic sounds. The slowly shifting soundscape creates a sense of underlying movement and undulation throughout the installation.
Terra Incognita places viewers inside a dynamic and curious environment fractured with subtle shifts, signs of life, and whispers of alarm, drifting toward an uncertain future. As such, the work reflects the spatially and temporally dispersed forces of the late-capitalist-driven climate catastrophe, simultaneously ever-present yet often beyond our everyday perceptions.
Hambidge Residency
SECAC 2020 Award for Teaching Excellence
“Professor Falk’s career as an educator has been marked by
interdisciplinarity, flexibility, and innovation. Her students are challenged
to think about art in unconventional ways, incorporating traditional and new
media, with social practice, activism, gender studies, history, and
environmental science. The committee was especially impressed by Professor
Falk’s extraordinary work, as studio classes have moved over the last nine
months from face-to-face to remote modality. This effort is best demonstrated in
the website she co-founded with several colleagues and one that attempts to
answer the simple question so many of us have asked [from] the beginning of the
covid 19 pandemic. That question: “What do we do now?” WhatDoWeDoNow.art is a
project share platform for reimagining and sharing what’s possible in the
expanding universe of higher education in fine arts and design education. Real collaboration
and service to her colleagues, as well as to her students, mark Professor Naomi
Falk’s career as an educator and the committee is pleased to recognize her
excellence in teaching.” - Lawrence Jenkens, SECAC President
