Canary Concepts and the Hidden Danger of Ubiquitous Things is an exhibition with an agenda. The ecological art installations address the consequences of fast fashion—the ecological footprint and the often-overlooked impact on human health and the environment. In doing so, the veil is lifted on seemingly harmless, everyday objects, as invisible chemicals and production practices are brought to light.

In our fast-paced and technology-based society, humans have become disconnected from and desensitized to the origin, process, and chemical makeup of items in our daily life. Canary Concepts and the Hidden Danger of Ubiquitous Things will provide visitors with the context to reconsider ubiquitous objects and habits around them.

Canary Concepts and the Hidden Danger of Ubiquitous Things is the basis of Stacey Skold’s dissertation research study: “Ecological Art as Transformative Tool in Cultivating Environmental Knowledge, Environmental Sensitivity, and Environmentally-Responsible Behaviors.” Skold is seeking participants for the study.
