Mary Anne Barkhouse, Julie Andreyev, Bill Burns
Curated by Tarah Hogue
The Or Gallery is pleased to present Facing the Animal, a group exhibition curated by CCST candidate Tarah Hogue featuring works by Julie Andreyev, Mary Anne Barkhouse and Bill Burns.
The works in this exhibition ask what facing the animal might mean in contemporary art. Using wolves and their domesticated descendents as subjects, the artists challenge dualities of human/animal and culture/nature in favour of more complex interactions. Through narratives of conservation, industry, wilderness and urban life using the media of sculpture, photography, video and installation, we are asked to question the categories we use to shape our sense of the world in works that are both irreverent and intimate.
