Helen Mayer & Newton Harrison The Harrisons Counter Extinction Work at Various Small Fries
Arte Fuse Jul 31, 2019
Various Small Fires is pleased to present its second solo exhibition by The Harrisons.
Newton Harrison worked from 1969 to 2012 with his wife Helen Mayer Harrison (1927-2018), and has continued to work alone since her passing. After reading Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring in the late 1960s, The Harrisons decided to only create artworks that benefit “the great web of life”, leading over many years of research and production to the genesis of the Ecological Art movement. Decades later, despite the prescience of The Harrisons and others, the planet finds itself on a short path to the sixth extinction.
