Block Gallery will host a public artist talk with the featured artists of the plants and birds and rocks (and things) exhibition on Wednesday, August 21 from 6 - 7:30 p.m.
Artists Claire Alexandre, Annie Blazejack and Geddes Levenson, Julia Einstein, Janet Link and Scott Hazard will discuss the aspects of nature, examinations of human relationships with nature, and approaches to making art that inform their work.
"plants and birds and rocks (and things)" is a Block Gallery Exhibition curated by current City of Raleigh Natures Preserves Artist in Residence Scott Hazard and features existing works reflecting the natural world from each artist, as well as new works that delve into notions of understanding, kinship, integration, and reciprocity with the natural world. The new works created for the exhibition highlight the sometimes under-noticed or unseen elements of the ecologies found at three beautiful City of Raleigh Nature Parks and Preserves; Annie Louise Wilkerson, MD Nature Preserve, Durant Nature Preserve and Horseshoe Farm Nature Preserve.
