Generation Loss (Opening Night)
Big Medium proudly presents Generation Loss by Dylan McLaughlin
The exhibition, Generation Loss, is a sound and sculpture installation that evokes the exploitation, extraction, and weaponization of Indigenous communities and technologies. The exhibition centers a looping sound piece titled I Had a Dream Wherein I was Taught a Ceremony to End the World. In Navajo, they say there have been multiple worlds besides this one. First World, Second World, Third World, Fourth World, and the world we are in called Glittering World. The artist meditates on when and how worlds are ended and begin again.
“Generation Loss” is an installation of new works that weave the distortions of fragmented lineage and the reverberations of language and land. McLaughlin looks to familial narratives, the entangles of colonialism that inform the technologies that perpetuate extraction, and Diné cosmologies in a performance that is deeply personal and grasps for harmony whilst unsettled.
