Animals have been part of artistic expression since time immemorial.
From the Palaeolithic age to the present day, animals have always
accompanied man’s aesthetic conceptions and representations of the
world. From the holy ibis of pharaonic Egypt to the winged companions of
Saint Francis of Assisi to Brancusi’s The Cock, birds have always
occupied a privileged position among the artistic forms inspired by the
animal kingdom, as they do in that kingdom itself. The animalisation of
artistic expression represents both a tribute and a strategy, with the
bird playing a role that is both cognitive and symbolic. Watching it
live, appropriating its images or its feathers, man works out his own
position among living beings, while consolidating his dominion.
The use of the bird figure by contemporary artists is like contemporary art itself: diverse, diffracted, multiform and open. Far from the traditional stereotypes of freedom, lightness, travel or romanticism associated with the bird, it now serves contemporary artists’ more general ambition to probe the essence of life, whether biological, ecological or political. And not to forget the music. Paul Ardenne

Tuned Cities: Screening
Programme
Framed by Eleanor Wright’s
exhibition Thin Cities at Gallery North, this
two-day event presents the work of artists whose
practices' explore themes of architecture and
transformation.
“To be lifted to the summit
of the World Trade Centre is to be lifted out of
the city's grasp.” - Michel de Certeau, The
Practice of Everyday Life
High-rise brand-focused
developments have become the corporate building type
for an increasingly global industry and
architecture. Eleanor Wright's current project, Thin
Cities showing at Gallery North until 17
October, made following a year-long fellowship with
BxNU Institute of Contemporary Art examines the
socio-political, architectural and visual discourse
surrounding these constructions and questions their
relationship to cities and people.
This collaborative event,
curated with Sam Watson (CIRCA Projects), will
expand on themes of the exhibition via a programme
of contemporary and historical film and video work.
The
works selected have been chosen to correspond with
themes that will be explored within the two-day
symposium, also presented at BALTIC 39. The program
will address the importance of visualising and
critiquing imagined worlds in order to better
understand realities of the present. The selected
works explore this through allegorical representations
of architecture, and the built environment operating
as an expression of social and political ideals.
Over
the last few years the precise question of what should
be privately owned and publicly shared in society has
animated intense political struggles and social
movements around the world. In this shadow the works
in this screening offer models of practice and
interrogate diverse sites, from the body, to the
river, to the server, to the museum.
