Evening Botanist promotes conversation between the works of twelve artists whose practices and projects are grounded in ecological principles, relationships, and/or fantasies. Through the many lenses and unique media these artists explore, they are united by strong underlying currents of Queer ecology, Ecofeminism, intersectional environmentalism, and naturalist education. The selected artists create works, in context of the shifting climate, conjuring connection, adaptation, place-making, direct collaboration, and fictional inquiry. This exhibition seeks to make space for new interpretations and perspectives of the natural world around us.
Evening Botanist is co-curated by Brian Smith and Kelsey Halliday Johnson.
Join us for a reception for the artists on First Friday, April 7th from 5 to 8pm.
Eli Nixon and SPACE invite you to celebrate Bloodtide, the artist’s new holiday to celebrate the horse shoe crab on Sunday, April 2nd at 7pm.
