Exhibit at Lancaster museum explores the power of nature

  • 2022-11-18
A new exhibit is now open at the Lancaster Museum of Art and History (MOAH).

Such new exhibits often rely on poster printing to help make residents aware of such special displays.

Dani Dodge, an artist who has won the Pulitzer Prize, explores the environment, location, power, and their impact in an exhibit called PRIME, which covers three galleries. PRIME is a collection of Dodge’s artwork from several activities held in 2019 and biweekly visits to the Prime Desert Woodland Preserve designed to bring the community together and raise awareness of the surrounding environment.

Activations inspired by wildlife begin the exhibit. This is followed by two spaces in the gallery with immersive exhibits. The first gallery has places for visitors to immerse themselves in an environment of images of nature and sounds that bring peace while the second gallery there are various materials and imagery to depict the mark of humans on the natural world.

Dodge was an artist in residence in 2019 and devoted her time to many art activations and engagement in the community in the Antelope Valley. After her residency, she felt more connected to nature and land, and visited the area on a regular basis. This exhibit reflects her time spent in the area and explores her love of nature.

The exhibit will be at the MOAH through Thursday, January 12.
