Art21 Screening- Human Nature

HUMAN NATURE
Episode 3 from Season 12 of “Art in the Twenty-First Century”

The four celebrated artists featured in “Human Nature” explore the central questions surrounding what it means to be human: investigating our impact on the environment and the world around us, probing the social and economic systems that define our daily lives, and discovering how we relate and connect with one another.

From her studio in Bogotá, Colombia to her exhibitions around the globe, artist Delcy Morelos emphasizes the urgent need for a deeper connection to the earth by using locally sourced soils and seeds to create monumental earthworks that immerse viewers in the natural world. Artist Josh Kline highlights the impact of technological advancement, class division, and the climate crisis through works of speculative fiction, including life-size, 3D-printed sculptures of office workers and neon-orange temporary housing tents filled with emergency supplies. In works of sculpture, installation, video, and drawing, artist Lenka Clayton playfully subverts commonplace tools and domestic rituals, working alongside her husband, children, and her Pittsburgh community to call attention to the beauty and wonder in the everyday. Deconstructing tropes of narrative storytelling, artist Sin Wai Kin creates a vibrant cast of characters and surreal worlds in highly crafted video works that disrupt seemingly fixed categories of human experience, such as gender, reality, and time. Through their critical yet hopeful reflections on the shared project of being human, these four artists emphasize our collective power to shape our communities, current realities, and coming futures.

This event is FREE and open to the public. Suite 215, Museum of Art Fort Collins. 201 S College Ave, Fort Collins, CO 80524.
