Barren Oracle, Breath of Cinders, an offsite exhibition by Urbain Checcaroni and Hanna Umin, co-curated by Torre Alain and Valerie You, was presented by Final Hot Desert at Silver Range Island, Utah, on March 23, 2021.
With sculptures made of assorted relics, ruins, shedded snake skins and organic matter, the show creates the atmosphere of a fantasy encampment against a desert backdrop in Utah. As evoked in the press text: “The dry wind sings from another age: a drifting cinder, the echo of a hundred fires wakened by the barking of dogs, buried now in soot.”**
