militarized bear
I happened upon this exhibit while looking for food in Miami’s Design District. Titled “The Protectors” and “Animal Powers”
“Peter Seidler exhibits an ecstatic presentation of militarized beings, manufactured objects internalize the pre-industrial order and present material instantiations of immaterial systems. The seed vocabulary for this work connects several systems of language, iconography, and technology in a new turbulence: the language of twenty-first-century science fiction fantasy, the wrathful deities of the Himalayas, contemporary weapon systems, and classical statuary. The wrathful deity statues of earlier eras sought to depict enlightened or uplifted forms of aggression in warrior cultures.”
