What is Biophilia: In Excelsis? |

Biophilia: In Excelsis is an art exhibition that focuses on the theme of sacred ecosystems, including oceans and forests, and their imminent transformation due to increased global warming. Curated by M. Annenberg, it brings together twenty-two artists who represent different cultural backgrounds, generations, and geographic locations, and who explore the concept of Biophilia, the love of life. It will be on view at the Yale Institute of Sacred Music’s Miller Hall at 406 Prospect Street, New Haven from March 27-May 2 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 12-4 p.m. A catalog will be available with essay by art critic, Eleanor Heartney.

M. Annenberg is a conceptual artist and independent curator. Her paintings, sculptures, installations and videos focus on under-reported stories in American media, concentrating on scientific studies and global warming.
When she was represented by Flomenhaft Gallery, she organized a panel there with Dr. Gavin Schmidt, Director of NASA, Goddard Institute for Space Studies, entitled, Art, Activism and Global Warming.
Annenberg’s recent artwork deconstructs the reporting of five major climate studies –The Emissions Gap Report, 2019, The National Climate Assessment, the Paris Climate Treaty, the UN’s 5th IPCC Report and the Hindu Kush Himalaya Assessment
Annenberg's paintings are in the permanent collections of museums in Lithuania, Israel, England and the USA. The BBC included her artwork in the documentary, The Private Life of a Masterpiece: The Third of May. She was named by Origin Magazine as one of America's Top 100 Creatives in 2015.
