In the western lands of Wyoming and Montana, an emerging form of land territorialization is unfolding at the threshold of public visibility. The Greencore Pipeline is a 232-mile invasive infrastructure that transports carbon dioxide from Denbury’s capture facility at the Lost Cabin gas plant in Wyoming to a sequestration point in the Bell Creek (old) oil field in Montana. On its way, the pipeline perpetuates the disruption of different forms of wildlife and agricultural practices, as the existing legal frameworks facilitate for the industry to get access to small landowners’ and environmentally protected areas for its expansive operations. Tracing the operations, marks, and signs of the carbon capture and sequestration industry development in these territories, the exhibition offers a fertile ground for critical inquiry on the social, cultural, governance and environmental ramifications that the engineering of an anthropogenic carbon cycle entails.
