Jon Buck: March of Mutability
Exhibition curated by Gallery Pangolin
Following Jon Buck’s successful 2019 exhibition Time of Our Lives, a major body of work shown across both Pangolin Galleries, Gallery Pangolin and The Museum in the Park have teamed up to present a new exhibition entitled ‘March of Mutability’. This show will include a group of new sculptures relating to contemporary theories of evolution, alongside prints and drawings.
Buck draws inspiration from a wide range of historical and contemporary scientific and anthropological sources; his work explores primary patterns derived from the natural world. They embellish the surfaces of his sculptures implying that this diversity requires conserving.
“Many of us have come to believe we hold a privileged position in the hierarchy of life, separate from its natural forces. The latest pandemic shows just how mistaken this view can be; like the rest of the natural world we are intrinsically connected and governed by the same principles of evolution. Viruses and other parasites have co-evolved with humans, to become not just a threat to our health but also a driver of our modification as a species.” Jon Buck 2021
