The Dowse Art Museum

Join us for an opening weekend floor talk as artist Michele Beevors is joined by Associate Professor of Art History, Susan Ballard.

In Good Bones, life-size knitted sculptures of elephant and giraffe skeletons sit alongside taxidermy creatures in a style reminiscent of natural history museums. These sculptures tell complex and often dark stories of mistreated circus animals and animals pushed to the brink of extinction by humanity’s preoccupation with excess. Join us for an opening weekend floor talk as artist Michele Beevors is joined by Associate Professor of Art History, Susan Ballard, to discuss the landscapes of extinction, the feminist and environmental nature of Beevors’ practice, and the works on display in Good Bones.
