Description

Situated at the San Diego Natural History Museum and at Linda Moore Gallery in San Diego, Nina Katchadourian's project for inSITE94, "Chloe," showcased Chloe, a taxidermic dog, propped on an embroidered silk pillow. While it was the intention of the artist to sow the actual taxidermic dog at the Natural History Museum, mixed opinion on public perception of a taxidermic pet on view influenced the Museum to opt for a Chloe stand-in. On view at the Museum, in a Plexiglas vitrine, was a photograph of Chloe on an identical silk pillow, accompanied by a placard referring viewers to the Linda Moore Gallery where the actual Chloe could be seen. - inSITE94
