Compensation for Loss Exhibition Opening

March 19, 2023 @ 1:00 pm 4:00 pm

An abstract work of art that features a historic-looking landscape image with a bird and several columns.
Free RSVP in Advance

Anna Fine Foer’s carefully researched and meticulously crafted works re-imagine the Renaissance cabinet of curiosities for the present. These cabinets were a precursor to the museum, where collectors displayed natural specimens, often from far-off locales, to advance scientific study and to impress visitors with their erudition and wealth.

The series Compensation for Loss comments upon historic and contemporary scientific inquiry into biological and mineral realms. Just as today we look back on the Renaissance collections and consider them naive understandings of the natural world, our present-day assembly of genetic code to understand living cells may seem primitive when viewed 100 years from now.
