The latest solo exhibition for Highpoint Editions artist Jim Hodges is at Baldwin Gallery in Aspen, CO. Entitled “tracing the contours of our days”, the exhibition opened on July 28, 2017 and will close September 4, 2017. “In the current presentation, Hodges has composed natural-history diorama cases as though from an immanent future: Hodges draws the viewer to wander an entrancing Wunderkammer holodeck of terrestrial reliquary. A paean to, or a lament for a vanish(ing)ed world when the anthropocene hourglass has run down. As staged, extinct fragments of an exquisite now are preserved by a scientific husbandry: the wincing twinge of loss faintly scented with memory and nostalgia, but also soaring ideals and opportunity: even as angels dance the heads of atoms, Hodges entices the visitor to treasure what we all have before it’s gone.”
