Megaflora"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong><em>Curated by<\/em> Harry Woodlock<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>With the support of<\/em> British Council<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>In collaboration with<\/em> Konrad Fischer Galerie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For over fifteen years, <strong>Alice Channer<\/strong>, a leading contemporary British artist, has been making <strong>sculpture that represents nature in various states of transformation<\/strong>. <strong><em>Megaflora<\/em>, 2021, is<\/strong> <strong>a<\/strong> <strong>sand-cast aluminium bramble stem<\/strong> that has been extracted via three-dimensional scan and stretched vertically into a three-meter-high freestanding sculptural form, and is presented here outside, in the <em>Giardino di Ingresso<\/em> of Museo di Storia Naturale di Venezia, for the very first time.<\/p>\n<p>By way of scale or material, Channer transmogrifies the form, nature or appearance of the flora and fauna that makes up our natural world, in a surprising, and oftentimes magical, manner. In this sense <strong>her work speaks directly to the Museum&#8217;s rich, varied and fragile zoological, paleontological and botanical collections<\/strong> and its evocative layout for discovering the secrets of nature and living beings. At the same time, it is also a comment on <strong>the way in which our environment has transformed<\/strong>, or adapted to, the human activity that has led to today\u2019s climate crisis and the unprecedented threat capitalism is posing to nature.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time, the sculpture is presented in an outdoor setting, powerfully showcasing the <strong>monumental evocative strength<\/strong> <strong>and the captivating ambiguity<\/strong> inherent in Channer\u2019s work. Her art consistently operates <strong>at the boundary between the real and the artificial<\/strong>, between nature and its reconstruction using industrial materials, technology, or precious metals.<\/p>\n<p><em>Alice Channer. Megaflora<\/em> will examine the way in which the artist uses form so as to emphasise the violence of the current phenomenon of change, the protection it might be said to symbolise, and how we might <strong>rethink that which constitutes vulnerability today<\/strong>. This installation will be accompanied by a brand new publication, with contributions from authors such as art writer and broadcaster Louisa Buck.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-4624","mostra","type-mostra","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>ALICE CHANNER.
