Karen Piddington, multi-disciplinary artist,
presents ‘become animal’, an exhilarating and eclectic collection of challenging
work, including film installations, sound, animation, documentary, sculpture
and drawings.
This show confronts fixed ideas about human
and animal identities. It entices the viewer into a process of transformation –
going beyond what you think you know and into something other.
The work weaves the real and the
imagined to create a mode of communication that is less language-driven. It is an invitation to inhabit animal energy and to allow it to inhabit
you, to lose self awareness and to experience the animal as other.
The show is intended to challenge, excite and
shift perceptions, and offer insight into what happens when artist and animal
meet in the context of contemporary art. The work conjures a feeling of
ambiguity, supporting the idea of things in transformative states.
Admission to the exhibition
is free and there is an open invitation to meet the artist at the opening
day, from noon-8pm on Friday 30 August - with drinks.
Open
daily from 12 noon to 6pm.
Open to the public from 30
August to 4 September 2019
