Deborah Kruger – AVIANTO

19 August 2023 ArteMorbida

AVIANTO, una mostra di opere d’arte ambientale di Deborah Kruger sarà esposta nella Joan Derryberry Gallery della Tennessee Tech University di Cookeville, TN, dal 17 agosto al 14 settembre 2023.

L’artista terrà una Gallery Talk alla chiusura della mostra, giovedì 14 settembre alle 17.00, e invita l’università e la comunità locale a partecipare.

AVIANTO si concentra sul recente lavoro di Deborah Kruger, motivato dall’estinzione delle specie di uccelli e dalla perdita delle lingue indigene in tutto il mondo. Il cambiamento climatico e il consumo incessante contribuiscono a questi problemi.

I colori intensi caratterizzano l’opera della Kruger e spesso imitano il piumaggio degli uccelli. L’artista spera di sensibilizzare e ispirare l’azione su queste perdite imminenti che riguardano tutti noi.

Deborah Kruger – AVIANTO

19 August 202319 August 2023 ArteMorbida

AVIANTO, an exhibition of Deborah Kruger’s environmental artwork will be on display in the Joan Derryberry Gallery at Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville, TN from August 17 – September 14, 2023.

The artist will give a Gallery Talk at the exhibition closing on Thursday September 14th at 5pm and welcomes the college and local community to attend.

AVIANTO focuses on Deborah Kruger’s recent work, which is motivated by the extinction of bird species, and the loss of indigenous languages around the world. Climate change and relentless consumption contribute to these problems.

Saturated colors characterize Kruger’s work and often mimic bird plumage. She hopes to raise awareness, and inspire action about these impending losses that affect all of us.

“The feathers in my abstract wall reliefs are made from recycled plastic, which serve to remind us how corporate greed, coupled with our unquenchable consumption, drive the loss of habitat that contributes to these extinctions.” The feathers in this exhibition are hand silk-screened with images from Kruger’s drawings of endangered birds and overprinted with text in endangered languages such as Yiddish, Tzotzil, Yakme, Zoque, and Ladino, whose last living speakers are in steep decline.
