Wild Thing is comprised of various approaches to what is considered wild and untamable, yet simultaneously conceptual and laborious. The works included in Wild Thing are not the embodiment or exacting replica of any one “wild thing,” but of any and all things considered “wild.” By presenting a selection of international and local artists, we come to realize that no distance or variation in culture has the ability to jeopardize the absolute integrity or the personal experience of what each viewer might consider “wild.”  The exhibition includes contributions by Jimmy Baker, Michael Carter, Karon Davis, Noah Davis, Eberhard Havekost, Chris Johanson, Thomas Kiesewetter, Jarbas Lopes, Job Piston, Chadwick Rantanen, Peter Rogiers, and Kehinde Wiley.
