Specimen: Representing the Natural World

"Specimen: Representing the Natural World

November 6, 2008 - January 29, 2009
Opening Reception - Thursday, November 6, 5pm – 7pm

In the 19th century a thirst for information about the natural world was rampant among the general populace, from dedicated scientists to avid amateurs. This exhibition addresses the pervasive influence of ‘natural history’ inspired aesthetics and methodologies on contemporary artists. In this exhibition, contemporary artworks will be displayed alongside historic works, on loan from the Newark Public Library and private collections."

TIME IS ON MY SIDE

"TIME IS ON MY SIDE

From Egypt to China, from South America to India, for thousands of years, monkeys have been associated wit a wide variety of value judgments. In different cultures and religions, they symbolize human qualities.

Metaphors of wisdom an sin, spirituality and slavery oppose earthly pleasure. They are the unaccepted elusive “others”, who have been appropriated and made into research object by human society."
