The Ark, a large-scale exhibition at Powerhouse Arts in Brooklyn, showcases the work of more than 50 artists creating animal sculptures in a variety of materials. The exhibit aims to explore the relationship between humans and nature, as well as the impact of climate change on our planet. Curated by Eric Fischl, the show is a modern take on the biblical story of Noah's Ark, prompting visitors to contemplate our responsibility towards the environment.
The artworks range from wood and stone carvings to bronze and resin pieces, and each artist brings their unique perspective to the theme. Some installations evoke joy, while others evoke grief, humor, and trepidation. The Ark will be on display until August 30, 2026, in the Powerhouse Arts building, a historic warehouse space adjacent to a Superfund site, offering a fitting backdrop for the theme of environmental conservation and exploration.
