Under the Sea-Wind with Alexa Horochowski

Join us on February 21st at 5PM for a walkthrough of Under The Sea-wind with the artist Alexa Horochowski.

Named after the eponymous book by Rachel Carson, Under The Sea-wind is Alexa Horochowski’s debut solo exhibition at Dreamsong. An immersive and poignant dive into ecology, geologically deep time and collective memory, Under The Sea-wind features a monumental installation, sculptures and video. Through unexpected collisions of organic materials, corporeal remnants and manufactured products, this exhibition presents a hallucinatory tableau of objects that one might imagine preserved in a natural history museum of the future.
