Why select a rabbit? Somehow all the forces inherent to us as humans are so similarly projected onto a rabbit - a compelling but nonexistent innocence, survival constructed by our inherent natural gifts - body and limb and brain. Rabbits and we are both vessels through which power and violence move like shadows.

Reception: May 1, 5:00 - 8:00 p.m.
