‘Surface Tension’ by Ben Moren
March 12 @ 8:00 am – April 30 @ 5:00 pm
Surface Tension by Minneapolis media artist Ben Moren is a sculptural installation which investigates the history of military waste dumping in Lake Superior through immersive, large-scale cyanotype prints on #12 canvas suspended from custom metal racks evocative of tenting and shipping materials.
The prints depict aerial images of Lake Superior’s surface texture captured above sites where the United States Army dumped barrels containing munitions manufacturing waste between 1959 and 1962.
The exhibit is supported by accompanying aerial video footage, the life-scale work draws contrast between the lake’s dramatic beauty and the hidden environmental legacies beneath its surface.
