About this Event
Anna Wagner's solo show, BEAST FEAST, is a study of the bloody economy of the animal/human world. In Anna's intaglio prints and sculpture, the act of consumption is central. Her subjects reevaluate human/imal experiences: Does not the intimacy of the carnivore and her prey bleed through the boundary separating sacrificial violence and love?
