Diversions
Works by Liza Buzytsky, Frank De León Jones, Annie Ewaskio, Sarah Lassise,
Simone Meltesen and Lizzy Sise
Curated by Aimée Burg
Humans live in the world, but are we of the world? The Romantic longing to connect to nature is sometimes so insistent that our presence in the natural world becomes desperate, uncanny, transgressive. Diversions explores the tension of humans inserted into the natural and forcing upon it their own human-nature. Figures are faceless, bodies disproportionate and at times simply implied. These actions suggest a narrative of utopian landscapes pushed to the surreal by our presence. The disruption ranges from awkward nostalgia to the introduction (and consequences) of nature overthrown. Diversions deals with the oldest of tropes: the joyous perfection of a paradise, and the dreadful premonition that its residents will destroy it.
June 29 through July 27
Opening reception, Saturday June 29, Noon until 2

Requiem for Being: An Installation by Cate Bourke
Taking bee colony collapse disorder as a point of departure, this participatory art installation is an ongoing meditation on otherness, ambivalence and disconnectedness.

For more information, 860.567.3163 or www.wisdomhouse.org.
