Where Is the Hare? (installation view)
Presidio Habitats

Nathan Lynch

Where Is the Hare?

To highlight the absence of the Black-tailed Jackrabbit (a.k.a. the Desert Hare) from the Presidio, and to lure it back to the park, artist Nathan Lynch offered an imaginary footrace intended to appeal to the hare’s mythological sense of pride in its own dexterity and speed. The local indigenous competitor in the apocryphal race is the Western Pond Turtle, a one-time Presidio resident that is part of the same super-family as tortoises.

Nathan LynchAmerican, born 1974

Nathan Lynch is a sculptor and performance artist who has made collaboration and experimentation major components of his practice. Animals appear in his work as targets for human activity, both benign and malevolent. Recent projects include solo exhibitions at Johansson Projects in Oakland and Southern Exposure in San Francisco. He is chair of the ceramics department at the California College of the Arts.

Lynch was an instructor in FOR-SITE’s education program in 2008 and 2009, and was the recipient of a 2014 Wauson Fellowship.
