Late Harvest

Opening Sep 27, 2014 at 11:00 am
Start date Sep 27, 2014
End date Jan 18, 2015

The exhibition "Late Harvest" explores the human relationship with the wild world. The exhibition juxtaposes traditional wildlife painting with contemporary art using taxidermy and features almost 90 works by 37 artists. Canonical wildlife paintings from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries are juxtaposed with contemporary art that incorporates taxidermy. The energy resulting from this contrast encourages dialogue regarding human-animal relationships. What the range of artistic strategies have in common is a celebration of the beauty of animals. Each approach reflects the desire to rejoin our simpler and more honest animal natures and to live in harmony with the natural world. Both modes of expression assert the importance of our encounters with animals as a way of understanding our place in the world. All of these artistic practices reflect human fascination with animals, an interest that spans millennia. The contemporary art in "Late Harvest" is rife with tensions that arise because these artists use taxidermy (Lit.: Rachel Poliquin) in an unexpected manner. Using taxidermy as a contemporary art material makes it neither utilitarian nor decorative, and the taxidermy itself becomes divorced from the didactic and scientific classification systems of natural history museums. Contemporary artists raise questions and challenge traditional notions about the hierarchical relationships between humans and animals. Catalog by Hirmer Verlag, ISBN: 978-3-7774-2350-0
