Antler Necklace is a group exhibition organized by New York writer and curator Amber Vilas. The exhibition explores the intersection of nature with culture and a synthetic representation of the natural world. The show’s title is meant to light-heartedly prod at popular consumable hybrids of modern material culture with natural images. The exhibition brings together six artists hailing from New York, Chicago, and Richmond, Va. whose artwork adds to a discussion of a mediated experience of nature through society and a produced cultural object.
“Nature, then, in this its simplest acceptation, is a collective name for all facts, actual and possible, …a collective name for everything which is.”
–John Stuart Mill
