 -04-18\n\nThe Harvard Museum of Natural History announces a new exhibition
 \, opening January 22\, 2010\, of striking\, large-scale color photographs
  by New York&ndash\;based visual artist Amy Stein. Domesticated: Modern Di
 oramas of our New Natural History\, explores the tenuous relationship betw
 een humans and animals as human civilization increasingly encroaches upon 
 nature.\nDomesticated: Modern Dioramas of Our New Natural History: Photogr
 aphs by Amy Stein will be on display at the Harvard Museum of Natural Hist
 ory through April 18\, 2010.     Informed by actual newspaper accounts and
  oral histories from residents of the small town of Matamoras in northeast
 ern Pennsylvania\, Stein's photographs are staged scenes\, often using tax
 idermied animals\, illustrating real-life encounters between humans and an
 imals. A girl and huge bear stare at each other from opposite sides of a f
 ence surrounding the family pool. Coyotes howl at a street light. Stein's 
 images\, at the same time both surreal and paradoxical\, explore the incre
 asingly permeable boundary between the human/built environment and the wil
 d. Stein writes\, &ldquo\;We at once seek connection with the mystery and 
 freedom of the natural world\, yet we continually strive to tame the wild 
 around us and compulsively control the wild within our own nature.'  Elisa
 beth Werby\, Executive Director of the Harvard Museum of Natural History c
 ommented.  &ldquo\;Stein's images are vivid\, dramatic and sometimes even 
 humorous\, yet they invite us to consider &ndash\; and reconsider&mdash\;t
 he way we live with other animals.&rdquo\;\nReview by Mark Feeney in the B
 oston Globe\n\nStart time: Harvard Museum of Natural History:  Open 9:00 a
 m to 5:00 pm\, except major holidays.
