Fight or Flight

The term “fight or flight” refers to an organism's involuntary physical reaction to a sudden threat. This exhibition draws on the pervasive discussions of fear and anxiety that have emerged in the popular press in recent years, clearly related to our turbulent times. considering this topic, the featured artists created works that engage both the scientific response and psychological application of “fight or flight.” Ranging from small-scale painting to video work and sculptural installation, these commissioned works by Kristin Baker, Amy Gartrell, Rico Gatson, Wangechi Mutu, Marc Swanson, and Ivan Witenstein will be on view throughout the Gallery and Sculpture Court at the Whitney Museum at Altria.
