Giant rabbits have taken over City Hall. Intrude exhibition stops in San Francisco from April 4 - 25th with other North American travels in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, Denver, Memphis and Houston. Amanda Parer’s edgy and ephemeral artworks explore the natural world, its fragility and our role in it. To the artist, rabbits are animals of contradiction. While rabbits often connotate furry innocence, they are considered invasive pests in the artist’s native Australia, where they have caused a great imbalance to the country’s natural and delicately balanced ecosystems since they were first introduced by white settlers in 1778. Through intrude, Parer hopes people will thoughtfully consider how humans can change and dominate the environment.
