This winter, Ogden Contemporary Arts presents an exhibition for globally recognized textile artist Tamara Kostianovsky, which will be centered around a kinetic installation featuring the artist’s life-size animal carcass sculptures. Made from floral fabric and discarded textiles, Kostianovsky’s sculpture transforms symbols of carnage into visions of regeneration and rebirth, as exotic birds and vegetation emerge from forms akin to hanging meat. Kostianovsky’s work for the exhibition touches on strong central themes including violence against humans and animals, consumer culture, and environmental devastation.

“Mesmerizing Flesh” opens on Friday, February 3rd with a public reception from 6-9pm, and will remain on display through April 16th. An artist talk will be held at Weber State University on February 2nd.
