In the month of June Ironton Gallery
will present Tim Berg’s
most recent investigation into the ineffable relationship between
humankind and the environment.
Berg is a Colorado native currently
living in Oakland, California. After receiving his MFA
from Alfred University in 2003 Berg returned
to Colorado to work at Anderson Ranch Art Center and teach
at Metropolitan State College of Denver. The work for this exhibition
was created
while in residence at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art
in
Omaha, Nebraska.
Berg is an emerging interdisciplinary artist
who creates humorous, provocative and sensual experiences that
strive to resolve
the divide between unconditional belief and deep seeded cynicism.
Ecoficial
is an exploration into the content of constructed environments
such as gardens, parks and forests. Through an evaluation
of these
artificial ecologies Berg deconstructs a romantic view
of nature in order to emphasize humankinds vital role within it.
