Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Reconstructing Animal The extinction of species, environmental destruction, global warming and the roles and fates of animals in this context has seen a shift in the consideration of animals and human-animal relationships. Reconstructing the Animal includes the work of a number of artists whose primary focus considers this ‘re-thinking’ of our relationships with animal life. The title of the exhibition alludes to the variety of ways in which these artists have ‘reconstructed’ animals. At times this ‘reconstruction’ takes place in a literal sense, such as the ‘recycled taxidermy’ works of New Zealand artist, Angela Singer, or the work of Finnish-born, New York based artist Harri Kallio, who presents images based on his reconstructions of long-extinct dodos. However, the exhibition is also a metaphorical reconstruction; we are asked as a viewer to reconsider or reflect upon our attitudes to animals Artists: Adam Geczy and Jan Guy (Australia),Angela Singer (New Zealand), Harri Kallio (Finland/NewYork), Mark Wilson and Bryndís Snæbjörnsdóttir (Iceland/UK), Kate James (Australia) and Alicia King (Tasmania) Interactive Futures’11: Animal Influence, Gallery Gachet,Vancouver, Canada How are animals influencing us? New media artists, scientists, activists, and philosophers are gathering together for a unique look at how animal cognition, animal consciousness and animal agency are changing the way we make art, do science, make ethical choices and make change in the world. The exhibitions have works by internationally renowned new media artists who work with animals as subject matter, or even with animals as collaborators. Artists include: Ecoarttech, , Sam Easterson, Sandra Semchuk, France Cadet, Chris Jones, Joanne Bristol, Iain Gardner, Merritt Johnson, Lisa Jevbratt. The work featured at Gallery Gachet includes artists Bryndís Snæbjörnsdóttir & Mark Wilson, and Julie Andreyev.

Konstnärligt arbete (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The exhibition draws inspiration from the historical phenomenon of Cabinets of Curiosities or the ‘Wunder Kammer’. Cabinets of Curiosities can be attributed to the Renaissance period, when the European aristocrats traveled beyond their local communities and brought back unusual artifacts that would be in contrast to the familiar. The objects could come from the animal kingdom or man made objects but during this period humans were keen to explore and understand the world, classify and give a place the systems of knowledge. Referencing this period is interesting in the context of the exhibition as it marks the development of material things; texture, form, touch, smell and function shedding a light on our knowledge of the world at the time, in contrast to prevailing religious theory and philosophical rhetoric’s. The aim of the exhibition is to provide a forum for critical discussion of knowledge and the role of art museums in this context. The exhibition is the result of experimental cooperative process in which the artists group has met regularly with academic guest speakers. Curator and artists have come to a consensus on the content and interesting use of museum space, in addition to the selection of artists most recent works for the exhibition. Exhibitors are: Eva Snæbjörnsdóttir & Mark Wilson, Daniel Björnsson, Gretna Reynisson, Harold Grant, Hildigunnur Birgisdóttir, Hugsteypan (Ms Violet Ingþórsdóttir & Amy Jóhannesdóttir), Ingi Rafn Steinarsson, Jeannette Castioni, Magnus Arnason, Olga Bergmann, Olof Nordal and clear Lee Bob (Erna Ómarsdóttir, Gudni Gunnarsson & Lieven Dousselaere).
