Each Eats Its Own

Dakota Gearhart
Adrienne Heloise
Ben Hirschkoff

March 02 – April 01, 2017
Reception / Thursday, March 02, 6–8pm

Devouring emotion and biological narratives are fused together in a tri-person show featuring Ben Hirschkoff, Adrienne Heloise, and Dakota Gearhart, where the artists respond to Werner Herzog’s description of the “The Obscenity of the Jungle” (from Les Blank’s Burden of Dreams) depicting nature as a cruel, self-satisfying, asphyxiating, overwhelming obscenity before which we should humbly pay our respects. The artists seek to further understand the so-called “tragedies” of evolution, including decay, fornication, and consumption through the lens of multidisciplinary art.
