Art Opening: Photographs by Colleen Plumb

2/28/2012

Sunday, March 4, 2012
1:00 - 3 :00 p.m.

FREE ADMISSION
​Don't miss the Chicago area opening of Animals Are Outside Today, an exhibition of photographs by Colleen Plumb. In this solo show, Plumb examines relationships between humans and animals, studying how animals are woven through the fabric of culture. Living and dead, real and fake, as displays or companions, these images investigate our ambivalence or perhaps multivalent attitudes toward animals, exposing both our kinship and disjuncture from other creatures of the Earth.
Opening includes a talk by the artist and a book signing.  Her book Animals Are Outside Today is available for purchase online. This event will be held at the historic Brushwood home at Ryerson Woods.
Exhibition runs March 4 - April 29.
