Under the Influence
Projective Eye Gallery at UNCC
October 10, 2025
Open through:
Under the Influence is the most recent exhibition of Kirsten Stolle’s research-driven practice. Pivoted at the intersections of art, science, and culture, her work examines the global influence of chemical companies on our food system. Delving into propaganda and greenwashing, Stolle appropriates corporate advertising strategies and aesthetics, highlighting the contradiction between public image and facts. Her recent projects have looked into agribusiness disinformation, chemical company marketing campaigns, and the historical ties between Bayer-Monsanto and chemical warfare.
Kirsten Stolle is an Asheville-based artist working in collage, text-based images, and installation. She is a Pollock-Krasner Grant recipient and her work is in the collections of the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, San Jose Museum of Art, North Carolina Museum of Art, and Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Solo exhibitions include NOME (Berlin), Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, and Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art. Her work has been published in Harper’s, The Atlantic, Photograph, Topic, Poetry.
Gallery reception on September 11.
