Dear Aliens, We Are Ready<\/em> – 09 April 2021 – 20 June 2021<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Professor David Cotterrell<\/a>‘s work, Mazar, Texas<\/a><\/em> will be shown at the Galeria de la Ciudad, Tecate, Mexico<\/a>. The exhibition, Dear Aliens, We Are Ready<\/a><\/em>,\u00a0curated by\u00a0PASTOR PROJECTS<\/a>, includes new and existing works by the artists:\u00a0MARIEL MIRANDA<\/a>\u00a0(MX),\u00a0DAVID COTTERRELL\u00a0(UK),\u00a0IRMA SOF\u00cdA POETER<\/a>\u00a0(MX),\u00a0GRO SARAUW\u00a0<\/a>(DK),\u00a0ALEJANDRO ZACARIAS\u00a0<\/a>(MX),\u00a0RYAN GANDER<\/a>\u00a0(UK),\u00a0M\u00d3NICA ARREOLA<\/a>\u00a0(MX).<\/p>\n

To coincide with the exhibition, the director of\u00a0Pastor Projects<\/a>\u00a0and curator of the show, Thomas Vann-Altheimer, with the support of\u00a0LOOKING FORWARD<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Empathy & Risk<\/a>, will be in conversation with the artists for video interviews to be premiered during online live events in the second half of April 2021. The public programme will offer insights on the practice of the seven artists involved in the show.<\/p>\n

In June 2021,\u00a0Empathy & Risk<\/a>, with the support of\u00a0Sheffield Hallam University<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Global Challenge Research Fund<\/a> will curate a three-part symposium, THE OTHER Dialogues, articulating inter-disciplinary debate exploring the limitation of international understanding that can be reinforced through distance. The three parts will relate to the topics of nationalism, labour, and gentrification. A press release with the program of the symposium and registration modalities will follow separately.<\/p>\n

Images from the exhibition, critical texts, and contributions from THE OTHER Dialogues interdisciplinary symposium will be collated in a book published by Abismos Editorial\u00a0<\/a>&\u00a0Empathy & Risk<\/a>, edited by Carolina Lio and Sidharta Ochoa.<\/p>\n

About\u00a0Mazar, Texas<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A large-scale, immersive work projected in a circular room, Mazar, Texas<\/em><\/a> comprises footage shot by the artist in desert regions of the United States and Afghanistan. Cotterrell recorded journeys through Big Bend National Park in 2010 and Mazar-i-sharif in 2008 and, in 2014, stitched these together to create a cohesive, convincing vision of a desert that does not exist. The score accompanying the work is a mixture of the ambient sound recorded at both locations and the processed noise of a domestic UAD. Drones are known to both regions: in Afghanistan they carry lethal potential; in the United States they document illegal entry into the country.<\/p>\n

Mazar, Texas takes some of its inspiration from the virtually identical creation myths surrounding the deserts of both Big Bend and Mazar-i-sharif, in which God, having made the world, realises there is a mass of material left over and throws the waste of his creation to the earth to make the desert.<\/p>\n
