SUMMARY:DeVos Exhibit Hosts 'Critters: Representations of Animals in Art from the Permanent Collection' Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The DeVos Art Museum at Northern Michigan University is hosting a new exhibit titled “SAME AS NEVER [anything to get out of here\, right?]” through Dec. 15. \nArtists Piper Hill\, Zerek Kempf and Shori Sims consider time\, bodies and architecture as sites of resistance and re-imagination. The exhibit offers an immersive art experience through both physical and digital mediums that aims to provoke\, move\, amuse\, and shake its audience. \nThis exhibition is curated by Snake House VT\, an artist-run collaborative based in Vermont that is dedicated to supporting underrepresented artists through exhibitions\, performances\, screenings and other events and projects. They promote the exchange of ideas through unique programming\, embracing work that presents challenging and provocative contemporary content that is outside of\, or directly eschews\, the predominant commercial system. \nThe museum is also hosting an additional exhibit through Feb. 2 titled “Critters: Representations of Animals in Art from the Permanent Collection.” This collection exhibition highlights diverse depictions of animals in art. It examines humans’ complex emotional and social relationships with animals and the environments both share. Using various media\, the artworks on view speak to the nuances of animal relationships. \nThe DeVos Art Museum is open noon to 5 p.m. Monday-Wednesday\, noon to 8 p.m. Thursday\, and noon to 5 p.m. Friday-Sunday. Admission is free.
