Installation views of Natalie Lerner’s work in “The body isn’t a battery that discharges upon death,” curated by Sean J Patrick Carney
@seanjpatrickcarney , at The Carnegie
@thecarnegie in Covington, KY.
The exhibition also features Manami Ishimura, Ian Hersko, Justin Hodges, Jesse Ly, and Plume Girl, and is on view through August 8.
From the press release: “As the exhibition opens, spring returns to the Ohio River. Honeysuckle reanimates along mortar lines; herons and egrets come back; winter’s grief loosens, settling into compost and feeding the cycle again. There’s a gothic comfort in certain inevitabilities.”
Presented by The Annex Gallery
Programming supported by 12 Paws Pickle Ball Club
