Natural Spectacles features the work of Ashley Bickerton, Peter Campus, Rebecca Horn, Tishan Hsu, Mary Lucier, David Nyzio, Liz Phillips, Richard Rosenblum and Todd Watts. These nine artists blur the distinctions between the natural and the artificial using diverse technologies as integral elements in these new constructions. Their works are sited on the walls, on the floor, or hang from the ceiling-placement is not where their new newness lies. For all these artists, the old adage "seeing is believing" takes on new and intruiging meanings.
