'The Animal Gaze: The Videos'

'The Animal Gaze: The Videos', Sheffield Institute of the Arts Gallery, Sheffield. 18/2/11-20/3/11 A group show addressing the relationship between animals and humans using film and video. The exhibition builds upon and recontextualises the previous Animal Gaze exhibitions. This exhibition examines new ways in which animals appear in contemporary art and the ethics and aesthetics to which such practice may be subject. The Animal Gaze includes video works by artists working in the UK and internationally. They visualise humans’ real and imaginary encounters with other species, and portray animals that are domestic and wild, working and at rest, alone and huddled together. Artists: Angela Bartram, Sarah Beddington, Catherine Bell, Suky Best, Rich Broomhall, Chloë Brown, Mircea Cantor, Jacob Cartwright & Nick Jordan, Roz Cran, Tessa Farmer, Hayden Fowler, Dyffort & Driesch, Kathy High, Cathryn Jiggens, Aurelia Mihai, Daniel Mijic, Miranda Whall, Roz Mortimer, Melody Owen, Clara Rueprich. Curators: Chloë Brown, Robert McKay and Rosemarie McGoldrick. Chloë Brown showed the film, Dear One.
