Andrea Blum: BIOTA
Andrea Blum has worked at the intersection of art, design, and architecture for over forty years. She began making temporary installations in the mid-1970s and in the decades since, she has created numerous public artworks for cities and universities across the United States and Europe. These include plazas, parks, mobile homes, libraries, an aviary, and sets for a Paris opera. Her exhibition designs for museums and galleries reconfigure how viewers perceive familiar spaces and one another. Blum’s sculptures frequently place bodies in proximity without the ability to touch. A tension between autonomy and intimate connection runs throughout the works.
In BIOTA, Blum presents an exhibition environment with works from 2008–2024 that center on constructions of the natural world and relations between humans and non-humans. These include a series of digital images that simulate organic matter, experiments with furniture-like objects for interspecies observation, and videos of wildlife in which animal desire parallels our own. In these psychologically charged works, Blum uses shifts of perspective and scale to explore entanglements of the natural and social realms.
Andrea Blum: BIOTA is curated by Jenny Jaskey and organized by Katie Hood Morgan, Chief Curator and Deputy Director, Hunter College Art Galleries. Graduate curatorial fellows: Haley Kane and Antonia Oliver.
