Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Over the course ofJaguar Groups extended text, Reisner draws on observational writing and archival research to offer an account of a wildlife diorama at theAmerican Museum of Natural Historys Hall of North American Mammals. Through a consideration of the suspended sceneone that depicts two taxidermiedjaguars gazing across a rugged desert vista at sunsetthe project contends with the strong allure that Reisner feels and the contradictions tied up in complicatedAmerican histories of Westward Expansion, early 20th century conservationism, and the construction of national mythology.Jaguar Groupconsiders how systems of display blur the line between reality and simulationand life and deathto present a natural ideal. The project extends acritical lens on historical approaches of collecting institutions through their amassing of biological specimens, funding of big game expeditions, and the depiction oflands that have been abstracted from narratives of indigenous stewardship. The work is situated within the broader cultural context of natural history museums assites of contemporary protest and inquiry amidst more urgent calls for decolonizing museums and the repatriation of cultural artifacts. Ultimately,JaguarGroupasks how we can both critique and love such an idiosyncratic, confusing, but beautiful monument.Jaguar Groupincorporates excerpts from historical letters from James Perry Wilson, the talented muralist who created the backdrop to the Jaguar Group dioramain the early 1940s. His affectionate letters with Thano, a young soldier on furlough, chronicle his work in the Museum and share insight into his painterly techniquehis approach to concealing his art and transporting the viewer through attention to tonality, color theory and forced perspectiveand the distortion of reality whichis necessary for the illusion of the diorama to function.The books color scheme is informed by Wilsons oil painted murals, and a clear PVC cover references the smudged fingerprinted glass of the Museums diorama.Publication Details15 x 23 cm, 6 x 9 in194 pagesFlexiboundScreenprinted PVC dust jacketCased-in spiral bound; three loose photograph insertsEdition of 700Design by Rissa HochbergerPrinting by die Keure, BelgiumRetail: $30Isadora Reisner (b. 1994, NYC) is an artist and writer currently pursuing a J.D. at UCLA School of Law.
