CURATION

Energy Fields : Vibrations Of The Pacific

January 4, 2025

Over the past few years I have had the absolute pleasure and honour to work with the legendary Robert Takahashi Novak, director of Fulcrum Arts , co-curating Energy Fields : Vibrations Of The Pacific as part of The Getty’s Pacific Standard Time. The exhibition (which is up at Chapman’s Guggenheim Gallery and Packing Plant through January 2025 under the guidance of Marcus Herse), public programs and publication (out now on Set Margins) reflects the passion and contributions of so many amazing and generous folks. I am intensely grateful, and extend maximum thanks to all the legends! 

Suzanne Hudson had this to say for Artforum.

Energy Fields: Vibrations of The Pacific is an exhibition, publication, and series of public programs co-presented by Fulcrum Arts and Chapman University. Curated by Robert Takahashi Novak and Lawrence English, the exhibition presents a diverse and dynamic collection of works from artists working out of Japan, Australia, Canada, Chile, New Zealand, and the USA. These works explore vibration as a means of deepening understandings of sense, perception, and expanding ways of knowing. The exhibition considers how vibrations, and their resultant waves, influence our planet and ourselves.
