Sleep Settings has been selected for the online companion to Field Project’s most recent exhibition, To Know the Earth Through Roots, curated by Danielle Johnson, December 7, 2023–January 6, 2024.

To Know the Earth Through Roots looks at contemporary practices engaged with questions of materiality and its relationship to knowing, meaning, and memory. It investigates the ways objects and materials can be entangled with, recall, or resurrect a geographical place, an interior space, or a particular time but also how the filter of memory can render the quotidian unfamiliar. The artists in this exhibition are attuned to objects and materials that within them contain a remembrance or impression of a past while also signaling a precarious future, marked by either eventual breakdown or uneasy interminable stasis. This is to say, these objects, rescued from waste streams or selected for specific evocative ends, exist in time. Memory, as a process that also suggests the passage of time, finds its form through these images, objects, and materials that have taken root in the mind. Featuring: Janine Brown, Kailey Brown, Clare Burson, Johanna Cordasco, Pat Dunham, Clare Gemima, Dina Khorchid, Kelly O'Brien, Yixuan Wu, Alice Zerini-Le Reste
