LMCC is pleased to present No One is an Island, a group show curated by Omar Lopez-Chahoud which examines our relationship with nature and the natural world. Since the Environmentalism movements of the 1970s, we have acknowledged our interconnectedness with nature, rather than a subjugating separation from it. As a result, the definition of and our cultural associations with nature have shifted—geologically, theoretically, ecologically and economically. Governors Island itself, the location of the exhibition, has been altered and shaped by human activity, from its acquisition in 1637 from Native Americans to the addition in 1912 of a hundred acres of rocks and dirt from the extraction of the Lexington Avenue Subway line to the backside of the island. The artists’ works in No One Is an Island takes various approaches to discussing “nature” in both theme and media.
