Exhibition | Etty Yaniv: Adrift in the Sargasso Sea
On View: September 12 - October 11
Gallery Hours: Tuesday - Saturday 11 a.m. - 8 p.m.
In her work, Yaniv draws on patterns from nature and images from daily life, altogether forming landscapes which blur the line between the real and the imagined, the organic and the artificial, the chaotic and the orderly. For this exhibition, she takes her inspiration from Patrick Svensson’s "The Book of Eels," a mix of natural history, memoir, and metaphysical musings, fusing scientific mysteries with lived experience. The eel is born in the Sargasso Sea, a place of legend but also a fundamental part of the ocean, encompassing two million square miles in the subtropical North Atlantic Ocean. A sea within a sea, it is enclosed only by several large rotating ocean currents. This large installation is a collaboration with the Department of Dance, and considers, in multi-modal ways, life and loss, journey, metamorphosis, complexity, and culture-nature (endangered).
Reception September 11 following the 6:30 p.m. lecture and dance performance.
