Plants and Animals

EXHIBITION   April 2-30, 2021
ARTIST TALK   April 30, 6:30-8PM
 

A habitat conceived of nature in flux permeates the space with elements of flora, fauna, and climate. 

In Plamps, Chris Adler portrays the propagated plants of local hobby horticulturist Regan Flanagan. Aminals, produced in collaboration with Brooke Burton, pictures taxidermies from the collection of the Orma J. Smith Museum of Natural History at the College of Idaho. Each Sunday, the exhibition receives an updated weather forecast for the coming week broadcast out of Salmon, ID by NOAA. The hand of human agency is apparent in Plants and Animals.
 
Adler’s capture and gathering of these modes of nature is accentuated by the meticulous plainness of their representations. The orchestration of weather, propping up of motionless wildlife, and the sterile environment of plant clippings all inform an arena where the peripheries of dichotomies blur. Life and death, inconclusive.
