Kairós: Listening Under the Weather explores the concept of environmental attunement and the act of listening as an ecological practice. Acknowledging that environmental catastrophe is no longer a hypothetical future, the exhibition chooses to inhabit this condition instead of escaping it. Here, meteorology is treated as an equally poetic and scientific subject: an atmospheric condition that sets a mood while also articulating the complexity of cosmic forces.
The title draws on the dual entendre of the ancient Greek notion of Kairós, meaning both weather and the critical moment to act, a notion that feels increasingly relevant in a time when climate crisis has become both environmental and existential. In this exhibition, weather might be thought of simultaneously as an environmental condition, a mood, and a chaotic system of atmospheric phenomena that both exceed and enfold us.
