From its first iteration in 2013, Free Jazz has pushed boundaries and expanded upon pressing concerns of our times. Free Jazz IV. Geomancers continues this approach, featuring artworks ranging from virtual reality to video, performance, and sound as an exercise in planetary awareness. The exhibition presents significant artistic practices from across the globe that are deeply invested in creating environmental consciousness and share an understanding of the world as a vulnerable, yet resilient, mesh of coexistences, correlations, and co-creations.
Conceived for Singapore Art Week 2022, this programme consists of a film screening series, a virtual reality installation, a performance, and a sound installation. Some of the featured artworks zero in on signs of earthly demise, others indicate pathways of resilience and strategies for regeneration. All the works result from long-term research and extensive fieldwork and, when presented together, engender a kaleidoscopic overview of ecological entanglements.
