Adelaide Theriault is a transdisciplinary artist currently based in Albuquerque, where
they received an MFA from the University of New Mexico. Their practice stems from an interest in the ecologies that extend beyond the ranges of human sensory spectra, and from a desire to regularly molt and regrow perceptual habits. With an understanding that these habits are taught and learned, they seek to deprioritize the capitalist logics that fuel objectification, ecocide, violence and apathy– instead looking to more-than-human cohabitants as teachers of what else is possible, and already real. Their work takes form through a push-and-pull between multi-sensory research and installation–combining sound, sculpture, video and found material to illuminate the place-making intelligence of more-than-human cohabitants. The focus of this multi-sensory research spans from plants and animals, and the hyperlocal ecosystems held within a handful of dust, to the lives and ecological memory held within the steel, electricity water and stone that make up contemporary infrastructures.
