| art.description.project | between you and me examines a contemporary set of relationships between humans and seals, with its particular focus on the coastal areas of Iceland where interaction of one sort or another has been customary for many centuries.
Because most representations are constructed to perform some agenda of our own – in the case of animals, to entertain, to inform, to provide food, to remember, to stand for all others of its species, to symbolize human behavioural characteristics etc – in this process, the animal itself is occluded – eclipsed by its avatar or likeness, which is always a simplification and therefore must accordingly signify a loss.
Snæbjörnsdóttir/Wilson’s work challenges the anthropocentric systems of convenience that sanction a daily acceptance of such loss and posits the alternative idea of parities in meeting. | sv |
| art.description.summary | Reconstructing Animal
The extinction of species, environmental destruction, global warming and the roles and fates of animals in this context has seen a shift in the consideration of animals and human-animal relationships.
Reconstructing the Animal includes the work of a number of artists whose primary focus considers this ‘re-thinking’ of our relationships with animal life. The title of the exhibition alludes to the variety of ways in which these artists have ‘reconstructed’ animals. At times this ‘reconstruction’ takes place in a literal sense, such as the ‘recycled taxidermy’ works of New Zealand artist, Angela Singer, or the work of Finnish-born, New York based artist Harri Kallio, who presents images based on his reconstructions of long-extinct dodos. However, the exhibition is also a metaphorical reconstruction; we are asked as a viewer to reconsider or reflect upon our attitudes to animals
Artists: Adam Geczy and Jan Guy (Australia),Angela Singer (New Zealand), Harri Kallio (Finland/NewYork), Mark Wilson and Bryndís Snæbjörnsdóttir (Iceland/UK), Kate James (Australia) and Alicia King (Tasmania)
