Honor Fraser is pleased to present Concrete is Fluid, a solo exhibition by the eco-hacktivist Lauren Bon. The exhibition features room-scale installations of ancient soil and subterranean seedbanks alongside aged assemblages of urban infrastructure. Bon's post-industrial earthworks, photographs, and sculptures index her collaboration with human-altered ecosystems across Southern California and champion the planet's resilience during cycles of disturbance and abundance. During Getty’s PST ART, Honor Fraser will serve as a conduit between Bon’s community-based practice, Metabolic Studio, and the many creative estuaries throughout the cyborg watershed of the LA Basin and intermountain west—from the Sierra to the Rocky Mountains. Visitors will find Honor Fraser transformed into a sounding board for Bon’s ecological compositions—featuring artworks that bubble up with the sounds and aromas of life, death, and recomposition. In turn, Bon asks us to reconsider the permanence of so-called "natural disasters,” and recognize these more-than-human forces as ancient mediators of art, history and reparation.
