Bushwick Gallery Presents Echoes of the Earth: Environmental Art – A Poignant Reflection on Resilience and Renewal
Brooklyn, NY, USA – April 28, 2025 – Bushwick Gallery is proud to present Echoes of the Earth: Environmental Art, a resonant group exhibition curated by Mekhi Deleon, on view from May 1 to May 8, 2025. A public opening reception will be held on Thursday, May 1, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at Bushwick Gallery, 22 Fayette Street, Brooklyn, NY.
Erin Quinn – Dreams of Glacier National Park
As communities around the globe navigate rising temperatures, vanishing ecosystems, and resource instability, Echoes of the Earth gathers thirteen contemporary artists whose works respond not with alarmism but with depth, material intelligence, and imaginative power. The exhibition spans sculpture, painting, installation, and conceptual practices, asking not only what is being lost—but also what might still be reclaimed.
Resurge Seam – Gina Keatley
Curated with deliberate emotional and thematic nuance, Echoes of the Earth offers more than a visual experience—it provides a framework for metabolizing ecological grief, and for reimagining the relationship between creativity and survival. In doing so, the exhibition speaks to a growing cultural hunger for meaning in the face of climate fatigue, offering a timely and necessary space for reflection.
Meikle Gardner anchors the show with LemonJelly and Fragile, part of the artist’s Reclamations series, which transforms industrial cast-offs into layered meditations on waste, permanence, and potential. Rather than sanitize the debris of modernity, Gardner lets it breathe—suggesting that even what’s been discarded can serve as a site of beauty and resistance.
Featured artists include:
• Erin Quinn, Dreams of Glacier National Park — a participatory sculpture that invites engagement with the disappearance of fragile ecosystems.
• Gina Keatley, Resurge Seam — a textural diptych exploring the regenerative force of geological and marine systems.
• Steve McDonnell, DEATH SPIRAL — a blunt, material-driven indictment of extractive economies.
• Amy Suzuki, Entangled Shorelines — an immersive installation probing the intersection of coastal resilience and invasive species.
Also exhibiting are Danninger Feng, Marle Adelman, West Foster, Korissa Frooman, Tibor Matijas, Sohn Plenefisch, Suh Youn Choo (Grace Choo), and AL, whose works each trace a unique path through themes of survival, disappearance, memory, and adaptation.
“Echoes of the Earth is not just about environmental art,” says curator Mekhi Deleon. “It’s about resilience—about how ecosystems endure, adapt, and, in some rare and beautiful cases, regenerate. These artists show us that survival is not static. It’s creative.”
The exhibition is as conceptually urgent as it is materially rich—balancing stark critiques of environmental collapse with moments of meditative beauty. At its core, Echoes of the Earth stands as both a warning and an offering: a call to witness the fragility of our ecosystems and a quiet but powerful insistence that they may yet heal.
