Description
Peaceable Kingdom: Animals, Real and Imagined is devoted to investigating our storied and rich relationship with the animal world, This national exhibition was juried by Stephanie Cannizzo, Associate Curator at the Berkeley Art Museum and Cathy Kimball, Executive Director and Chief Curator of the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art. Peaceable Kingdom explores the presence of animals in the visual arts, and how they appear as metaphors, totems, objects of fear, and sources of emotional attachment and affection.Peaceable Kingdom opens with a reception for the artists on March 3, 2013, 3:00 – 5:00pm.
The Bedford Gallery received over 400 artist submissions for this juried show. After much deliberation, our jurors have selected 58 artists from around the U.S. to participate. The artworks chosen by our jurors represent a range of media, from traditional sculptural and painting practices to conceptually oriented mixed media installations.
