Limelight
Charles DanbyAbstract
Limelight is a co-authored research project completed as part of a collaborative practice with the artist Rob Smith between 2016 and 2020. It is comprised of two exhibitions and two public performances.
Situated within the intellectual and interdisciplinary fields of New Materialism and Eco-Philosophy identified with figures such as Jane Bennett and Donna Haraway, the research works against longstanding human and non-human binaries, and establishes terms through which limestone, as a geological material with industrial application, is demonstrably not inert in nature, but by contrast possesses and presents agency.
