About the Item

Archival pigment print Signed and numbered, verso 8 x 10 inches, sheet (Edition of 15) This artwork is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City. Please note that prices increase as editions sell. For the series, "Unnatural History," Lori Nix and Kathleen Gerber painstakingly construct tiny dioramas of rooms in imaginary natural history museums, and then photograph them in black and white. The final archival pigment prints are hilarious scenarios picturing madcap, behind-the-scenes possibilities, which highlight the curious oddity of our historic need to amass, conserve, and display elements of the natural world. Nix and Gerber’s photographs reference and bring to mind other contemporary artists inspired by the natural history museum and the often bizarre and awkward artifice inherent in the scientific presentation of the animal kingdom. Lori Nix and Kathleen Gerber have been making art collaboratively for over sixteen years. Originally from the American Midwest, now based in Brooklyn, they construct meticulously detailed model environments and photograph the results. For the last decade they have found inspiration in their urban surroundings, imagining a future mysteriously devoid of mankind. Their miniature fake landscapes and interiors reflect a love of science fiction and dystopian entertainment (think “Blade Runner,” “Planet of the Apes,” “Logan’s Run”), an appreciation for great architecture, and an affinity with the Sublime painters of the Hudson River School. Their images of faux landscapes and gritty urban interiors have gained wide acclaim in both the U.S. and Europe, and Nix is a 2014 Guggenheim Fellow in photography.
