CURATOR'S STATEMENT

"The idea of what is unnatural is of course, a very subjective matter. There's a few things that could make the list without much debate, like freak accidents, deformities, miracles, apparitions, magic, or everlasting-life. Without actually taking down statistical evidence of all such occurrences though, how do we know they actually don't fall within the realm of what is "normal" and "natural?" Our ideas of the unnatural are based in the influences of society and culture.  Even then, we are sometimes expected to fight what is natural with all our might (e.g. aging, death), other times we scorn and fear what is seemingly bizarre and freakish. Either way, this is a topic that we all can approach, perhaps from a personal relationship with the unnatural, even within one's self, to those things that make us the most uncomfortable."

- Aidan Koch, Guest Curator
