Lothar Baumgarten's current solo exhibition at Marian Goodman Gallery fuses the artist's interest in reflective anthropology with photography, sculpture, projection, and audio installation. The show's centerpiece, Fragmento Brasil, began soon after Baumgarten moved to the Amazon in 1978 to live with the Yanomami people. More than 500 images are projected on the walls of the main gallery, combining photos from the artist's five-month walk through Brazil and Venezuela, abstract drawings from the oral Yanomami culture, and 17th-century paintings of the region's birds by Dutch artist and anthropologist Albert Eckhout. An audio installation playing in the darkened back gallery provides an almost symphonic arrangement of birdsongs recorded in the wasteland of Fishkill Creek.
