About this Event
THE ELEMENTAL presents DIALOGUE & EXPLORATION featuring Cristopher Cichocki in conversation with Sharrissa Iqbal.
Curator Sharrissa Iqbal will join artist Cristopher Cichocki to discuss his current exhibition on view at THE ELEMENTAL: Primordial Waters - Chapter 2.0: Beyond Land & Sea.
ABOUT THE EVENT
Cristopher Cichocki’s exploration of art, ecology, and time offers a constellation of paintings, sculptures, video, sound, and light-based works that deepen his investigation into humanity’s relationship with the natural world. For nearly two decades, Cichocki has transformed the desert’s parched landscapes and industrial remnants into an ecological language of form and sound. Cichocki embraces the traditions of land art and the light and space movement, but his sensibility feels distinctly 21st century — data driven and rooted in environmental urgency.
Sharrissa Iqbal specializes in American art with a focus on artistic abstraction in Southern California. She earned her PhD in Visual Studies at the University of California, Irvine in 2021 and her MA in the History and Theory of Contemporary Art at the San Francisco Art Institute in 2014. As Associate Curator for Modern and Contemporary Art at the Palm Springs Art Museum, she co-curated the exhibition Particles and Waves: Southern California Abstraction and Science, 1945-1990 in conjunction with The Getty's Pacific Standard Time initiative. Iqbal was one of just three honorees from the Coachella Valley who were recognized as the Women Who Lead 2025 by Palm Springs Life Magazine.
