Made Ground:
Aly Ogasian, Shona Kitchen

ARTWORK

As collaborators, Ogasian and Kitchen's work is research based and often site-specific. Made Ground puts a fresh spin on notions of exploration and expedition in the twenty-first century. Their methods of investigation reveal a latent irony. They peer curiously at the world at hand, exploiting processes of discovery that seem absurd and humorous. Their end goal is to reveal new micro and macroscopic territories, expose hidden histories, or bring forgotten knowledge to the fore.
