Nina Maria Gorrissen Lecture

New Works on Empire, Ecology, and the Nonhuman

In this talk, artist Candice Lin presents her recent installations, such as the Animal Husband (2024), Night Stone (2024-2025), alongside insights and discoveries inspired by these works. Themes of Lin’s work are cross-species relationships in relationship to colonialism and empire, mineral histories, environmental toxicity, and the speculative lives of non-human living beings. Her practice utilizes installation, drawing, video animation, and living materials and processes such as mold, mushrooms, bacteria, fermentation, and stains.
