ANNE LEMANSKIN SOLO EXHIBITION

VULNERABLE
New work by Anne Lemanski
Mixed Media Installation

INBOOTH Artist Conversation with Anne Lemanski
Saturday, November 7 at 11:00 a.m.
Lemanski discusses the relationship between the material/medium and content of new work in her SOLO exhibit "Vulnerable."


"VULNERABLE" reflects my continuing exploration of threatened and endangered species. The content of this body of work is inspired by the interconnectedness, or lack thereof, between man and the natural world—specifically our relationship with animals.

FOCUS ON JASON WALKER

JASON WALKER continues his impressive series "Human Made Wild" with new works A Hand in Two Worlds, shown here, and Stopping to sniff the flowers in my concrete shoes, I gave a crust of bread to John Muir.  Both on view at SOFA Chicago, November 5-8.

"The pieces for this show are simply explorations of this idea. The imagery was gathered by walking 75 miles of trail through Yosemite National Park and many more miles of concrete through Chicago Illinois, two iconic American landscapes, with my sketchbook. The pieces are an attempt to merge these two opposing places together to say it is time to rethink our perceptions of nature, culture, wilderness and civilization, in hopes we can once again reinstate our own naturalness and perhaps one day find balance between ourselves, and the planet."

INBOOTH Conversation
Saturday, November 7 at 4:00 p.m.
Artist discussion of work from his recent solo show and the social commentary explored through the use of figural sculpture and narrative imagery.
