New York- and San Francisco-based photographer Richard Barnes has a fascination with natural history exhibits. His behind-the-scenes photographs are beautifully haunting reminders that there is nothing natural about a natural history museum. Animal Logic, the recently published mid-career survey of his work, looks critically at both the natural world and the ways in which people attempt to institutionalize and classify nature within museums. Through his lens, sights and objects normally hidden from public view—half-installed dioramas, exploded skulls, and taxidermied animals in shipping crates—take on a strange beauty. Animal Logic will be available for purchase at the event. RSVP requested: 215-299-1060. For more information: www.ansp.org/adult-programs/lectures.php.
