List Projects 27: fields harrington and Nancy Valladares

MIT List Visual Arts Center presents works by fields harrington and Nancy Valladares in a two-person exhibition that inaugurates a year-long series of three experimental List Projects exhibitions that foreground and support artistic collaborations.
In their respective practices, harrington and Valladares work across disciplines and media including sculpture and installation, text, photography, and the moving image. Both artists center research, and their works and related inquiries take a critical eye to overlooked technological and industrial histories. Each has also employed citizen science to shed light on the enduring toxicity of various colonial projects and the extractive processes that underpin racial and fossil capitalism.
This interview with fields harrington and Nancy Valladares, was conducted in conjunction with “List Projects 27: fields harrington and Nancy Valladares” installed at the List Visual Arts Center (July 20 - October 29, 2023).
