Details

Artists are often inspired by the abundance of beauty that surrounds them in the natural world. Biophilia is the natural human tendency to connect with nature and other living things. The term comes from Greek and translates to "love of life." For this exhibit, Barbara Baer brings nature into the built environment. For her 3-dimensional installation art pieces she uses the imagery of plants and animals on structures that are supported by the art gallery itself. Her art installations use counterweight, balance, friction, and tension for a playful take on the natural world. We are excited to share more of Barbara Baer’s work. She created the lighted panels in the Lobby and the large-scale outdoor sculpture above the south entrance off Mulberry St. for our renovation in 2011.
Amelia Furman’s artwork is founded on the quest to find connection between our own stories and how they intersect with the ever-changing stories of the landscapes around us. By painting on a layering of text, photographs, maps and symbols, she shows the story of a place and expresses the transient nature of time.
