Saguine Sea | Ear, Epoch, Earth: 16th Istanbul Biennial

The Seventh Continent is an anthropology of an off-centered world and an archaeology of our times. It defines today’s art as an archipelago of diverse enquiries into global life, tracking the prints of human activity on the earth and our impact on its non-human inhabitants. Tee’s work responds to experiences of cultural hybridity, identity and language, and trade routes between people, commodities and objects from nature. She collaborated with poet Jane Lewty on a multilingual text performance and choreography, which focuses on the delicate and nuanced relationships between nature and culture, language and perception. In addition, Tee has developed a knitted floor piece on which visitors can recline during invited moments.

Curated by Nicolas Bourriaud, with support of the Mondriaan Fund and Outset Netherlands.
