    Date posted: September 11, 2012 Author: jolanta

    This September, over one dozen American artists will come together in Brooklyn to share what “Wildlife in the Post-Natural Age” looks like. The works range from drawing to painting, video animation, sculpture, and photography. The show focuses on work that addresses the interplay between wildlife and our domesticated selves and spaces.

    “It probes the persistence of wildlife in American culture and individual imagination through the work of a diverse group of city-based artists.”

    The Post-Natural Wild

    This September, over one dozen American artists will come together in Brooklyn to share what “Wildlife in the Post-Natural Age” looks like. The works range from drawing to painting, video animation, sculpture, and photography. The show focuses on work that addresses the interplay between wildlife and our domesticated selves and spaces. It probes the persistence of wildlife in American culture and individual imagination through the work of a diverse group of city-based artists. The varied works evoke a reconsideration of the term “wild” in what Gary Snyder has called a Post-Natural Age, and the role that artists are playing in exploring these issues.

    PARTICIPATING ARTISTS: Emily Davis Adams, Nick Baxter, Rachel Bensimon, Dina Brodsky, Jessie Brugger, Cara DeAngelis, Bryan Drury, MaDora Frey, Ian Healy, Loretta Hirsch, Maria Kozak, Monika Malewska, Benjamin Martins, Randall Nelson, John O’Reilly, Colleen Plumb, Kate Puxley, Christopher Reiger, Wade Schuman and Kimberly Witham

    Wildlife in the Post-Natural Age is Curated by Cara DeAngelis and is on view from 7 September to 28 September at the WAH Center in Brooklyn.
