The Exotic Sublime: on a wing
THE EXOTIC SUBLIME on a wing will present a contemporary bestiary focused on the many creatures that take to the air in the Sonoran Desert. In plain sight or elusive, real and imagined creatures are ever-present, existing, threatened, mysterious, endangered, mystical, and magical. Or extinct. Mammalian, insect, and avian worlds fly, float, soar, hover, flap, and flutter around us; resilient lifecycles adaptably ever-changing. Or not. We witness 鈥 in macrocosm or microcosm 鈥 the effects of time in slow dissolution or methodical accretion; cautionary and symbiotic tales combine what this place used to be with what this place will become. The voice in between, the creative and artistic resolve, is a visionary current toward the odd and wondrous grandeur of The Exotic Sublime.
Addressing our role in this Anthropocene epoch and the human-caused impact upon our immediate environment, this series of exhibitions will shed new light on climate change, threatened and endangered species, habitat loss/degradation/fragmentation, invasive exotic species, migratory paths, water diversion/scarcity, etc.
