Harper’s is pleased to announce Library, Massachusetts-based artist Eliot Greenwald’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. In chemistry, the law of the conservation of energy states that within a closed system, energy cannot be created or destroyed; rather, it can only be transferred. This foundational principle plays a critical role in Greenwald’s conception of the environment and how humans and other forms of life engage with their habitats. For Greenwald, humankind cannot be distinguished from the landscapes it occupies—though they shuffle through diverging cycles of existence, decomposition, and rebirth, all types of life are ultimately cut from the same cloth. Across the works that comprise this exhibition, the artist reckons with such metaphysical relationality both iconographically and materially.
