"Sentient Earth" at Amant: A Curator Ready to Move Past the Anthropocene

Amant has a new exhibition, "Sentient Earth," and Tobi Maier, who leads curatorial work at the institution, is steering it. The show is about climate change. Its approach is to turn the kind of scrutiny usually associated with the corporate world toward the planet. Maier has been frank about the thinking behind it: the conversation built around the idea of the Anthropocene has had its moment, and Maier believes most people can already sense that. For anyone who follows how institutions choose their subjects, a curator stating a clear position this early is worth noticing. "Sentient Earth" sets out to find a new way of talking about the climate.
