D Rosen: Elemental Impressions of Interspecies Care, of Violence
On Friday, August 23 from 6-9pm, join us for the opening reception celebrating D Rosen: Elemental Impressions of Interspecies Care, of Violence.
This solo exhibition explores non-human animals’ entanglements with human agricultural and domestication practices. Rosen’s cast metal sculptures preserve the ephemeral, materially archiving the methodical activities of Dogs and non-human animals living on farms, and highlighting the enmeshment of care and violence within domestic spaces. In documenting collaborative rituals of care between human and non-human animals – the removal of hazardous material from a Dog’s mouth, the grooming of a pregnant Horse – Rosen rejects historically-rooted power dynamics, reexamining binaries in service of the cultivation of queer ecologies.
