Manifest Destiny (ISBN: 0872731510 / 0-87273-151-0) Rockman, Alexis;Berger, Maurice Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Museum, 2005. Hardcover. Book Condition: New. FLAWLESS COPY, BRAND NEW, PRISTINE, NEVER OPENED - contains a full-color foldout image of the mural -- Alexis Rockman's "Manifest Destiny" translates into haunting yet inspiring simplicity the environmental crisis of global warming. In conjunction with the opening of the Museum's new entrance pavilion, the distinguished American artist Alexis Rockman (born 1962) has been commissioned to paint a visionary 8-by-24-foot mural about the distant future of the borough of Brooklyn. Rockman's project suggests what the remote geological, botanical, and zoological future might bring, predicting the ecosystem of the area thousands or even millions of years ahead. Believing that the past provides clues to the future, Rockman has drawn from the Museum's historical paintings collection for source material, including such works as Albert Bierstadt's A Storm in the Rocky Mountains, Mt. Rosalie (1866), a monumental Hudson River School landscape. -- REVIEW: Rockman is delivering a disturbing message about Homo sapiens abuse of the environment. The Manifest Destiny of this immodest species will not be the glorious one envisioned by nineteenth-century Americans, he suggests, but an abandoned, despoiled place. Even so, his mural is not quite as grim as its message. He enjoys himself too much for despair to take hold. Steeped in a boyish love of things apocalyptic and the astonishment of other worlds, Manifest Destiny should delight children, who will revel in its mad-scientist oddities. Like his Hudson Valley predecessors, Rockman relishes details, and he can make a large space come to life. An enormous lion-mane jellyfish with streaming tentacles animates the mural, giving the slow water a pulse. Rockman is also not without humor. Humans may have drowned Brooklyn, but the world survives, and here and there, lifes indomitable spirit prevails. On top of a floating oil drum, its antennae rapt with attention, is that ineradicable symbol of eternitythe cockroach.(--ny magazine) -- Alexis Rockmans monumental painting Manifest Destiny (2003-04) is an 8 x 24-foot panorama of downtown Brooklyn 3,000 years in the future, submerged under water as a result of global warming. In order to achieve scientific accuracy as well as visual impact, the mural is based on painstaking research with architects, ecologists, archeologists, paleontologists, and climatologists.--Save The Bay.
