Want to get out of town?

Sign up to visit Cranbrook Institute of Science to see the exhibition: Animal Logic: Photography and Installation by Richard Barnes (on view October 4, 2009–January 3, 2010).

This exhibition showcases work from Barnes’ recent major photographic series, most notably Animal Logic, Barnes’s engaging and, at times, surreal images of dioramas and artifacts from natural history museums.

At the center of the exhibition will be the acclaimed project Folded Murmur, in which Barnes collaborated with Berlin–based video artist Alex Schweder and the Birmingham, Alabama–based composer Charles Norman Mason to create an integrated photographic, projected–video, and composed sound installation based on their study of starling migration in Rome.

Also, don’t miss the Richard Barnes’ exhibitions on view in Ann Arbor: “(Un)Natural History: The Museum Unveiled” at UMMA and “Past Perfect/Future Tense: Authenticity and Replication” at the UM Institute for the Humanities.
