About this Event
Chimeric Herbarium is an exhibition of art from Zoetica Ebb’s Alien Botany series. This exhibition spans ten years, and includes works on paper, sculptures, and a pop-up shop.
In the crypto-scientific world of Alien Botany, wondrous plants are captured in meticulous technical detail by a shipwrecked cosmonaut stuck on a far-off planet. These specimen charts are presented alongside dreamlike analytical tables exploring the ways alien organisms interact with human hosts.
Alien Botany examines states of divergence, surrender, and equilibrium through the eyes of a lifelong immigrant, speaking to the boundless human capacity for adaptation and survival. Pulling at preconceptions of what is innately natural, Zoetica Ebb looks to the potential of our genetic alphabet in an imagined future among the stars.
Ebb’s eponymous art book comes out this fall. Limited signed and numbered copies will be available for pre-release at the exhibition, with general availability later in fall.
Chimeric Herbarium includes an Alien Botany themed fashion life-drawing class (Thursday, 6th, 6pm) and a surprise performance. A truly mesmerising collection of otherworldly work meant to encapsulate the senses in this one-off, unmissable solo exhibition.
