MALIA JENSEN – NEARER NATURE

Posted on 2021-02-22

This body of work is the culmination of Nearer Nature Project, a two-year endeavor which grew out of the artist’s desire to explore our complex relationships with the natural world and with one another. Beginning in early 2019, Jensen carved six sculptures from livestock salt licks and installed them in carefully selected wild places across the state of Oregon. Over a year, eighteen motion-triggered cameras monitored the sculptures and the surrounding landscape, recording not only wildlife but also the dissolution of the carved salt and the changing seasons.

Using an intricate filing system and working closely with an editor, Jensen’s trove of wildlife footage was compiled into a six-hour video entitled Worth Your Salt, displayed on three monitors in the gallery. Comprised of thousands of 30-second clips captured by the trail cameras, the video features four quadrants of sequential footage on each monitor, evoking the grid of closed-circuit surveillance.

ERIK HOFFNER – ICE VISIONS

Posted on 2021-02-22

Ice Visions is an informal collaboration between myself, the ice fishing community, and elemental forces. When fishing holes refreeze overnight, they create fertile ground for nature’s wild artistic side, and these perfectly augered circles become worlds at once interstellar and cellular, dreamlike and tactile.

The images on display depict ice designs I’ve documented during 20 years of exploring New England lakes and ponds. In the morning light, with tiny bubbles from below fixed in place by several inches of new ice, these scenes come to life as eyes, galaxies, stars, cells, and more when rendered in black and white.

Due to milder than usual temperatures during the past winter, on many mornings I found barely a skin of new ice covering the prior day’s fishing holes. Bubbles pooled up at the surface before freezing, creating striking new kinds of formations I’d never seen before, ones that perhaps reveal the fingerprint of a warming climate.

MITCH EPSTEIN – PROPERTY RIGHTS

Posted on 2021-02-22

In a series never shown before in a museum, pioneering color photographer Mitch Epstein (b. 1952) faces urgent, contemporary issues through his compelling photographs in Mitch Epstein: Property Rights. From Standing Rock protests to the Arizona and Texas borderlands, Epstein travels the country capturing images where public and private rights are often in conflict. Politics and citizenship, or environmental degradation and land rights, Epstein focuses on tough topics, helping us see overlapping, and often competing, histories and perspectives.
