‘Dark Archive’ is a solo exhibition by California-based artist Elin O’Hara Slavick.
The title of the exhibition comes from the title for her forthcoming book about archives, photography, the intersection of technology, destruction and image-making, scientific research and discovery as a means of producing extraordinary photographs, and, as the artist states, “how violence and ruin are at the root of everything, even sometimes arresting beauty”.
The exhibition includes collages on archival Sky Atlas photographs using Caltech materials only, 528 chemical drawings of nuclear tests on outdated paper (there have been 528 atmospheric/above-ground nuclear tests in total), cyanotypes of objects in the Caltech archives, and a 3D printed sculpture of a bottle melted from the heat of the A-bomb from the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum.
Registration is not required but preferred, especially for special events where seating is limited.
