Beginning with the secret life of plants and metaphysical mysteries in the earth all around us, Andy Battaglia, an Unsound curator and editor at ARTnews, presents a digressive talk on floral fixations and matters of landscape at play in hundreds of years of art history. From early botanical drawings and “impossible bouquets” in 17th-century still-life painting to scandalous photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe and irradiated herbarium samples from Chernobyl, the lecture considers what “Flower Power” might mean in the context of Unsound.
