In Inherit the Dust , his astonishing panoramas of those portraits — installed life–size in industrial and urban wastelands that have trampled the animals' habitats — are a jolting combination of beauty, decay, and admonishment. The result is an eloquent and complex "J'accuse", for the people are as victimized by "development" as the animals are. The breadth, detail, and incongruity of Brandt's panoramas suggest a collision between Bruegel and an apocalypse in waiting. — Vicki Goldberg , Art Critic, Author The wasted lands in Inherit The Dust were once golden savannah, sprinkled with acacia trees, where elephants, big cats and rhinos roamed. These now dystopian landscapes — as Nick Brandt's unvarnished, harrowing but stunning work reveals — brings us face to face with a crisis, both social and environmental, demanding the renewal of humanity itself. — Kathryn Bigelow , Film Director, The Hurt Locker The images in Inherit The Dust are heart–wrenching and important. This tough new series is a call to action — if it is not too late — and pulls no punches in confronting us with the devastation of their habitat. — Philippe Garner , Co–Chairman, Christies With Inherit The Dust , the quiet dignity of the animals that Nick Brandt photographs is shockingly juxtaposed against the indignity and disarray of our own. These haunting photographs force us to think about what we are doing, and who is at stake. — Carl Safina , Author, Biologist, Beyond Words, What Animals Think & Feel Nick Brandt's remarkable new work, Inherit The Dust , is a photographic essay in environmental ethics. He asks, in the most stark fashion: "What are we doing to this planet? What have we gained, and what have we — and the other animals with whom we share our planet — lost?" — Peter Singer , Philosopher, Author, Animal Liberation ADVANCE PRAISE Exhibition Schedule March 10 – April 30 2016 EDWYNN HOUK GALLERY, NEW YORK March 24 – May 14 2016 FAHEY/KLEIN GALLERY, LOS ANGELES May 18 – 22 2016 ATLAS GALLERY, SOLO EXHIBITION @ PHOTO LONDON, LONDON 2016, Date tbd FOTOGRAFISKA MUSEUM, STOCKHOLM May 13 – July 9 2015 CAMERA WORK, BERLIN June – July 2015 PHOTO-EYE GALLERY, SANTA FE 2016 Date tbd ATLAS GALLERY, LONDON EXHIBITION SCHEDULE EDWYNN HOUK EDITIONS MARCH 2016 / NORTH AMERICA / DISTRIBUTED BY D.A.P.
