Netizens React Strange Creatures Cause Frenzy at Huntington Gardens
The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in Los Angeles, California is currently hosting a group show titled Beside the End of the World.
The exhibition features works by five artists, including Nina Katchadourian, Dana Johnson, Robin Coste Lewis, Beatriz Santiago Mu noz, and Rosten Woo. Among the works on display are five unique but linked pieces by Katchadourian, including the intriguing Weird Creature.
Weird Creature is a fascinating work of art that captures the imagination of viewers. The piece is a sculpture of a strange, otherworldly creature that seems to be made up of various materials, including feathers, fur, and fabric.
The creature’s body is twisted and contorted, giving it a sense of movement and life. Its eyes are large and expressive, and its mouth is open in what appears to be a silent scream.
The sculpture is part of a larger series of works by Katchadourian that explore the idea of hybrid creatures and the intersection of the natural and the artificial.
The artist is known for her inventive and playful approach to art-making, and Weird Creature is no exception. The piece is both whimsical and unsettling, inviting viewers to consider the possibilities of what might exist beyond our known world.
Beside the End of the World is an exhibition that brings together a diverse group of artists and writers to explore themes of apocalypse, survival, and transformation.
The works on display range from paintings and sculptures to video installations and written texts. Each piece offers a unique perspective on the end of the world and what might come after.
In addition to Katchadourian’s Weird Creature, the exhibition features works by Dana Johnson, Robin Coste Lewis, Beatriz Santiago Mu noz, and Rosten Woo. Johnson’s paintings depict scenes of urban decay and renewal, while Lewis’s poetry explores the intersection of race, gender, and identity. Santiago Mu noz’s video installations offer a glimpse into the lives of people living on the margins of society, while Woo’s sculptures and installations examine the relationship between humans and the natural world.
Beside the End of the World is a thought-provoking and engaging exhibition that offers a unique perspective on the end of the world and what might come after. Whether you are interested in art, literature, or the apocalypse, this exhibition is not to be missed. It is on view at the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in Los Angeles, California from November 9, 2019 through February 24, 2020.
