Join us Friday, August 11 from 6-8 pm with an artist talk at 6:30 pm, to open Next World Emissaries, a larger than life exhibit by artist Jude Griebel.
Next World Emissaries features triumphant hybrid forms based on pervasive species such as weeds and insects. These various “nuisance species” are based on those common to many North American cities, including barnyard grass, scarlet pimpernel, dandelion, cockroach and gypsy moth.
The artist explores “new beginnings”, influenced by speculative fiction in historical and contemporary writing, visual art and popular culture, and expanding on his larger bodies of work that investigate environmental collapse and eco-anxiety.
