Naturalized: A closer look at Baltimore’s unintentional flora
Works by Caitlin Cunningham and Kaitlin Murphy
Howard Peters Rawlings Conservatory
Opens October 4th – October 6th 2012, 10am-4pm
Closing Reception: Saturday October 6th 10am-3pm
Artists Caitlin Cunningham and Kaitlin Murphy will present specimens of plant life that commonly grow in and around Druid Hill Park but are frequently referred to as exotic or invasive species. Some species have interesting natural histories dating back to, or before, colonial times – others are more recent newcomers -but all are considered by most people to be weeds, if they are considered at all. By presenting them inside the Conservatory, a greenhouse traditionally used to exhibit exotic species with particular merit, the artists will explore the value system set on plant species by humans.
How do categories such as native, cultivated and weed define our relationships with plants, animals, and ourselves? In a reality where human activity increasingly effects every aspect of Earth, what does nature really mean? By bringing these common plant species into focus, the artists invite viewers to take notice of the silent but stunning growth along the periphery of their daily experience, and consider their own place in this weedy world.
