[create]ures: animals in contemporary art
11.21.2019 - 2.9.2020
Animals have stirred and fueled the human imagination since we began making art over forty thousand years ago. Perhaps it is our reliance on them for our survival, or perhaps it is our deep reverence of their strength and beauty, or perhaps it is the knowledge that our ecological habits have caused species to go extinct. Regardless the motivation, our fascination hasn’t waned. The work in this exhibition represents our continued affection for animals, both real and imagined.
