Becoming Animal, Willesden Library, London, 8 August—1 September 2024
Curated by Hazel Yiran Liu
The first public exhibition curated by Hazel Yiran Liu of Goldsmiths MFA Curating, influenced by Stefan Sorgner’s Metahumanism and Deleuze & Guattari‘s theory of Becoming-animal – a non-hierarchical, dynamic process in which a subject no longer occupies a fixed form but rather is folded into a nomadic mode. The exhibition invites viewers to experience the dynamic process of becoming animal by presenting them with different perspectives and perceptions of animals through painting, photography, sculpture, video and installation.
Artists: Masha Barks, Daria Ivans, Jo Longhurst, Tina Ribarits, Thomas Thwaites, Joanna Wierzbicka.
Work exhibited: Pelt (II), 3 bodyscans on mdf, 2018
