Land Before Time: Three Dinosaurs and a Gondola

_Land Before Time: Three Dinosaurs and a Gondola_, is an exhibition pairing three complete Maiasaura fossil specimens with _Gondola Marianne Moore_ by John Chamberlain. This marks the first time a family group of Maiasaura dinosaurs has been exhibited together. The fossil specimens are presented in collaboration with GRANADA, a cross disciplinary, vertically integrated endeavor that encompasses the full spectrum of activity surrounding natural history - from excavation and sourcing to scientific research, preparation, education, and exhibition. Working alongside GRANADA, Dr. Frédéric Lacombat and his team of paleontologists led the excavation, mounting, research, and scientific direction of these specimens The exhibition brings into direct dialogue two distinct categories of objects: paleontological specimens and postwar American sculpture. Installed in close proximity, the works are approached not as illustrations of separate disciplines, but as materially and formally comparable entities - objects shaped by processes of compression, accumulation, and transformation over time.
