INterSECTS: Where Arthropods and Homo Sapiens Meet
This audio guide accompanies the exhibition INterSECTS: Where Arthropods and Homo Sapiens Meet, on display through August 13, 2022.
INterSECTS presents excerpts from artist Peter Kuper’s forthcoming graphic novel, which he developed during his tenure as a fellow at The New York Public Library’s Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers in 2020–21. Finding himself virtually alone in the vast Beaux-Arts rooms and hallways of the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, Kuper began imagining arthropods occupying this unexpectedly and unprecedentedly vacant environment.
