Jenny​ ​Kendler: Rewilding

Jenny​ ​Kendler’s​ ​work​ ​often​ ​exists​ ​between​ ​the​ ​fields​ ​of​ ​art​ ​and​ ​environmental​ ​activism.​ ​With​ ​a strong​ ​ecological​ ​voice,​ ​her​ ​sculptures,​ ​drawings,​ ​videos,​ ​and​ ​installations​ ​articulate​ ​urgent concerns​ ​without​ ​sacrificing​ ​the​ ​role​ ​of​ ​aesthetics​ ​in​ ​communicating​ ​through​ ​visual​ ​languages. For​ ​the​ ​exhibition​ ​​Rewilding​,​ ​Kendler​ ​presents​ ​a​ ​series​ ​of​ ​sculptures​ ​that​ ​bear​ ​the​ ​interventions of​ ​her​ ​hand​ ​in​ ​the​ ​name​ ​of​ ​subtle​ ​yet​ ​poignant​ ​protest:​ ​familiar​ ​porcelain​ ​bird​ ​figurines​ ​are modified​ ​and​ ​transformed​ ​in​ ​an​ ​attempt​ ​to​ ​preserve​ ​the​ ​otherwise​ ​endangered​ ​species​ ​the works​ ​refer​ ​to.​
