FalseFront is pleased to present MAGIC > NATURE, a group show curated by Michael Endo and Emily Nachison. MAGIC > NATURE marks the introduction of a rolling program of group shows curated by invited regional artists, with discerning focus on concept pairing and multidisciplinary selection.
Curatorʼs Statement:
Science examines and has largely demystified the universe: Despite this, many artists seek to represent the world as one filled with spirituality and secret, hidden meanings. Drawing on the lost symbolic languages of pseudo-sciences, synthetic colors and mimetic natural environments, these artists pick up the remnants of our disenchanted world and seek to assemble new truths and speak to our desire to have our world re- enchanted. MAGIC > NATURE is a grimoire of re-mystification.Location:
