Julia Paull and Joseph R Mendelson III, Ph.D.
Closing reception and artist's talk: Wednesday, April 4th, 2012 from 8:00–10:00 pm Incubate. The word is derived from the Latin incuabre (=to lie) but modern usage has it applied more towards the concepts of nurturing development of eggs or young, or even ideas. Over the last two years Joseph R Mendelson III, Ph.D., Herpetologist and Curator of Herpetology, Zoo Atlanta and Julia Paull, artist and Roski School faculty have been incubating about the complicated circumstances that now surround endangered species and programs that breed these endangered species in captivity. Incubate is an interdisciplinary experiment combining documents, and the writing of Mendelson with photographs by Paull, Together Mendelson and Paull have traveled to conservation breeding programs and facilities at The Costa Rican Amphibian Research Center in Costa Rica, the El Valle Amphibian Conservation Center in Panama, and Wikiri Foundation in Quito, Ecuador.
Captive at Wikiri were a few newly discovered frog species that have yet to be named. As it happens herpetologists sometimes discover new species in Natural History Museums that are extinct, yet still unnamed. Incorporated into the thesis of this exhibition is the discovery of new species and the context in which amphibians exist.
Julia Paull’s photographs are made possible by a University of Southern California Advancing Scholarship in the Humanities and Social Sciences Grant. Image: Julia Paull, Tadpole, Atelopus sp (New Species), 2012, 26.5 x 40 inches, inkjet print
