Leah Beeferman: A Warm Cold

October 23 - December 04,2022

From CO-OPt Research + Projects: "CO-OPt Research + Projects presents an exhibition by Leah Beeferman. A Warm Cold brings together work made in the Arctic (Finland) and the desert (Utah and Arizona) with reflections on the frigid empty space of the universe (just warmer than absolute zero, where molecular motion stops). Climates, landscapes, and their details: what does it mean to measure? As part of the exhibition, CO-OPt will also screen Beeferman’s video RAIN FOREST (2019-22), filmed in the Ecuadorian Amazon. The screening will take place November 13 at 5:00pm, followed by a Q&A by the artist. About the artist: Leah Beeferman has had solo exhibitions at Rawson Projects, New York; Arcade on Stadium, Utah; and Sorbus, Helsinki.
