“HyperAccumulators”
Pelham Art Center is pleased to present HyperAccumulators, a group exhibition that considers how contemporary artists explore connections between nature, toxicity, and the potential for regeneration. The show is mutually inspired by a hyper-awareness of human impact on the climate and environment – the so-called Anthropocene, a new geological period characterized by ecosystem failures, rising sea levels, and other disturbances, and by “hyperaccumulators” – plants capable of growing in soils with very high concentrations of metals. Such plants are known for their ability to extract those contaminants, therefore helping to restore the ecosystem. The artists include Christian Bazant-Hegemark, Joseph Fucigna, Valerie Hegarty, Cary Hulbert, Lina Puerta, Erika Ranee, Dorothy Robinson, Denise Sfraga and Jeanne Tremel. HyperAccumulators will be on view January 18 through March 23, 2019.
