SUMMARY:Take / Aim
DESCRIPTION:For the first time in human history\, more people live in urban environments than rural\, yet we continue to insist that we are the guardians and stewards of the land. Contemporary society relies on photography now more than ever to experience the wild and the natural. A confrontational topic\, such as hunting\, immediately becomes approachable and obtainable. This exhibition focuses on the complex and bizarre narratives encompassed within hunting culture. The opposition and objectification of nature simultaneously mirrors our fragile and romantic communion with environments and the various species of animals they contain. The photographers selected for this exhibition\, illustrate raw opinions as diverse in range as the attitudes and beliefs shared between hunters. Whether the artists themselves are active participants or captivated observers\, their images depict a correlation between destruction\, survival\, tradition\, and sport.\nOnce a common subject within art\, hunting has changed over time much like its creative portrayal. Whether it is a prehistoric drawing on cave wall\, a 16th or 17th century painting\, or a contemporary photograph\, the “hunt” has historically embodied the idea of predator versus prey. The continual changes however reference its social interpretation and acceptance. The most basic perception concerns the continuity of life through the generation of food\, a traditional view of hunting to survive. Be that as it may\, it has at certain points in time\, been culturally accepted as a sign of dominance\, displaying man’s compulsive desire to control nature. Yet today\, though commonly argued\, it pertains instead to some people’s sense of identity\, family recreation\, and a desire for a physical and psychological connection to land. Our assimilation into the intimate and unforgiving wild\, allows for a curious and beautiful affiliation\, and while our relationship to nature is not always understood\, we admire its honesty. It’s delicate and frightening\, peaceful yet violent. Hunting expresses both an opposition to and an integration with nature all at the same time. A true line in the sand\, where one can stand on either side\, but also a line so easily blurred with a swift kick.\n \nTake / Aim is an exhibition curated by William LeGoullon and presented in collaboration with Northlight Gallery and the Phoenix Institute of Contemporary Art. \nExhibiting Artists:\nAndrea Tese\nBrian Lesteberg\nBrooks Dierdorff\nDave Imms\nErika Larsen\nJason Vaughn\nJesse Burke\nJoe Mannino\nJordan Baumgarten\nMichael Tummings \nArtist Lectures:\nDuring the opening reception on October 21st at 6:30pm\, Jesse Burke will give an artist lecture. Most recently known for his latest book “Wild and Precious” (Published by Daylight Books)\, Jesse will be sharing insights about his work from his “Blind” series and thoughts about image creation\, family\, and the relationships we share with nature. \nDuring the closing reception on December 2nd at 6:30pm there will be an artist lecture by Brooks Dierdorff\, a photographic artist whose work expands beyond the printed image\, encapsulating elements of sculpture\, video\, and performance.
