Artist and filmmaker, Kika Thorne’s practice oscillates between elastic poetics and pragmatic ecologies. Kika received her MFA from the University of Victoria, BC and has exhibited extensively including projects at Berlinale Forum Expanded (Berlin), Abrons (New York), Contemporary Art Gallery (Vancouver), the Power Plant (Toronto), E-Flux (global tour).

The exhibition is made possible through a material alliance between Portable-Electric and the NASA Solar Dynamic Observatory. The exhibition is also supported by Eileen Sommerman, Marleen Hoolboom, Christopher Brayshaw, Jane Hutton and Adrian Blackwell.
