BEAST FEAST

Solo exhibition by Anna Wagner

Join us for Printmaking & Book Arts Artist-in-Residence, Anna Wagner’s solo exhibition, BEAST FEAST, open June 20-July 31. RSVP for her Artist Talk on July 31, 5-7 pm.

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?
