Swoon at Brooklyn Museum 4/11-8/24, by dreadnatty on Feb 13, 2014 5:18:47 GMT 1, Exhibitions: Swoon: Submerged Motherlands
www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/swoon/
April 11–August 24, 2014
Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Gallery, 5th Floor
Brooklyn-based artist Swoon celebrates everyday people and explores social and environmental issues with her signature paper portraits and figurative installations. She is best known for her large, intricately-cut prints wheat pasted to industrial buildings in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
For this exhibition, Swoon creates a site-specific installation in our rotunda gallery, transforming it into a fantastic landscape centering on a monumental sculptural tree with a constructed environment at its base, including sculpted boats and rafts, figurative prints and drawings, and cut paper foliage.
Often inspired by contemporary and historical events, Swoon engages with climate change in the installation as a response to the catastrophic Hurricane Sandy that struck the Atlantic Coast in 2012, and Doggerland, a landmass that once connected Great Britain and Europe and that was destroyed by a tsunami 8,000 years ago.
Swoon: Submerged Motherlands is organized by Sharon Matt Atkins, Managing Curator of Exhibitions, Brooklyn Museum.

Swoon at Brooklyn Museum 4/11-8/24, by Feral Things on Sept 10, 2014 7:48:59 GMT 1, You can pick up one of the laser-cut leaves from the big tree which was part of the Submerged Motherlands exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum for just $75 and support the Climate Ribbon Project at the same time. Available from here but not many left:
EDIT: Now sold out.

After the first 15 sold out very quickly, Swoon donated a further 85 x 9"-12" leaves from the Brooklyn Museum Installation for just $75/£46 each.
