I thought I'd hit the eastcoasters with this mainly, but if your in the Adirondacks, check out the opening for Kyle Ford and Second Nature at 7444 Gallery. I've seen bits and pieces of this show along the way and can say I'm always happy to see it on the wall.
A little about the work:
I am fascinated with the way we represent the natural world by preparing it for display and visual consumption. Decided manipulations like selective preservation and engineered wilderness, act as a lens to explore ideas of mediated experience, perpetuated aesthetics, and transformative hyper-reality. This series is a catalogue of the varied ways we go about [re] contextualizing the “natural world,” and thus, redefining the way we perceive it.
So if you're around check it out.
Opening Reception: Saturaday, May 14th from 8pm and runs though June 4th
Have a good weekend...
