Charlie Milgrim: Nests

May 10th, 2024 – June 15th, 2024

Charlie Milgrim’s oversized nests are made of discarded materials, such as old bicycle tires or shredded sheet music, that mimic the diversity of nests found in the wild. Milgrim’s nests highlight the ingenuity of birds and other nest builders and inspire viewers to reflect on the material practices of our built environment. Milgrim and the nest builders share the common practice of collecting materials to assemble their creations, linking the artist with the natural world. Viewers are invited to consider the parallels between the shelters created by animals and our human habitats.
