Jeremy Johnson returns to Prairie for his second show, this time collaborating with Aaron Kent, to fill the gallery space with taxidermy, mixed media and installation. Works in the show all bear some relation to traditional practices of natural history in which plants and animals were collected, dissected and presented in various displays for educational purposes. Included in this show is a mating display of Great Malaysian Argus Pheasants as well as a work station installed atop an early 1900's roll top desk showcasing pieces in process to provide the viewer a better understanding of traditional practices used during the Victorian age.
Aaron Kent presents works of a more contemporary nature featuring sculpture casts from bone forms. His work will also include a range of molds and process work on modern work surfaces as a counterpoint to Johnson's highly finished work. Kent's work explores the natural cycle of deterioration and regeneration of new life.
Opening Reception on Saturday October 12th from 7-9pm.
