About
"Routing Rubber" is a new multimedia exhibition that showcases Ecuadorian artist Adrián Balseca's (Quito, b. 1989) research on the plantation rubber industry in the Amazon. It will be exhibiting at Canal Projects from January 19 to March 30, 2024. Produced on black and white 16mm film, "The Skin of Labour" (2016) and its accompanying archive, provide a historical revision of the Amazon's rubber boom, which saw its highest production from the years 1879 to 1912. Through the project, Balseca challenges the idea of the Amazon as a natural horizon, centering its territory as the origin of industrial modernity.
