0807horsenewmuseum.jpgThe New Museum unveiled its new exhibit, After Nature, yesterday. Running through September 21st, they say it's a departure from "the fictional documentaries of Werner Herzog" and instead draws inspiration (and its title) from W.G. Sebald's book...though rapture, ruins and environmental disasters also acted as muses. Bringing together 26 international artists on three gallery floors, expect to take in paintings, photographs, installations, films, writings, and living sculptures. Perhaps the most jarring piece is the headless horse emerging from the wall (created out of taxidermied horse skin). As an aside: Williamsburg clothing label Love Brigade also has a limited edition shirt from their “Love, Kurt” line, inspired by the artwork of Kurt Cobain, for sale at the museum (in conjunction with the exhibit).
