‘Coyote Connections’ featured in ‘Artscope’ magazine
The "Coyote Connections" exhibition at ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ’s Portland Art Gallery was the focus of an article published in the November-December 2014 issue of Artscope, a culture magazine of New England.
According to the article, co-curators of the exhibition Geri Vistein, a conservation biologist, and Anne Zill, director of the Art Gallery, chose the coyote as the subject because "it is a bridge between the art audiences who frequent the ÐÂÏã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ art gallery and state residents who have also encountered the animal."
Vistein and Zill hope, says the article, to "bring awareness to the need for co-existence with this creature in the Maine ecosystem and to demonstrate the power of art in bridging art and science in their community."
