Natural Blunders

curated by Karen Kienzle

 

January 24-March 20, 2009

Reception: Saturday, January 24 from 6-8pm

 

Artists included in this exhibition take their subjects from the natural world. Like artists throughout history, they find inspiration in the richness, diversity, and symbolic potential of plants and animals. However, the work of these artists showcases a darker side of nature, by highlighting the increasing control exerted by humans, with a particular emphasis on the negative aspects of our interference. The resulting works encourage us to consider our own relationship with the natural world and to ponder the potential implications of our recent explorations into genetic testing and cloning.
 

Artists in the exhibition include Alastair Bolton, Cheryl Coon, Lauren Davies, Susan Felter, David Hevel, Elisabeth Higgins O’Connor, Misako Inaoka, Ernest Jolly, Michael McConnell, Stephanie Metz, Paul Paiement, Jane Rosen, John Slepian, Kathryn Spence, Tara Tucker, Sarah Wagner, and
Gail Wight.

Unfurled is a traveling exhibition of artists' flags as critical responses and alternatives to the recent rise in nationalism and its fanaticism. The works selected for the exhibition, ranging from overtly political to intimately personal, surprise and challenge traditional understandings of the function of a flag. In each new presentation, the works featured in Unfurled respond to new conditions and engender meaning in subtly different ways. For instance, in its exhibition at Galerii Y (Tartu, Estonia; 2005), the works engaged with the politics of identify formation and nation-building within a homogenizing European Union. At Katlamaja, a new exhibition space of Polymer Culture Factory (or 'Kulturitehas' in Estonian), located just steps away from Talinn's international ferry port, Unfurled presents the artists' flags against the backdrop of flags flown in honor of International Workers' Day (May Day) in addition to the flags flown on ships and carriers to communicate the identify of nationality of its inhabitants.
