Plants and Mammals
Carol Bove with Janine Lariviere
April 15 - September 10, 2008

Curated by Jodie Vicenta Jacobson

Plants and Mammals featured several sculptures and a collage by Carol Bove accompanied by Twentieth Century Narcissus, a book project by Janine Lariviere. In addition, daffodils from the artist’s garden were periodically on view during spring in the gallery.

A fold-out, accordion-style picture book, Twentieth Century Narcissus chronicles the introduction of narcissus cultivars (commonly known as daffodils) throughout the twentieth century. The book is organized as a pictographic time-line, with each page representing one year. The flowers included in the book are varieties that are currently available, with images clipped from bulb catalogs that arrived at Lariviere’s door.
