ANTONYM: Life With and Without Animals: an online exhibition

Abstract

The online exhibition ANTONYM: Life With and Without Animals presents the work of eight artists from the UK, USA and Iceland at Artcore, Derby. Each makes artwork that engages with the more-than-human world, reflecting on contemporary threats to nonhuman life as well as on the pleasures of our relationships with other species. The exhibition coincides with the online conference Life With and Without Animals at the University of Derby, and is its companion exhibition. Like its companion, this exhibition was scheduled for physical delivery at Artcore, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic a decision was made to make this online. Both events were organised and curated by Steve Baker and Angela Bartram. The exhibition includes work by the following international artists: Andrea Roe and Cath Keay; Angela Bartram; Paula McCloskey and Sam Vardy; Johanna Hällsten; Julia Schlosser; Lee Deigaard; Bryndís Snæbjörnsdóttir and Mark Wilson; and Steve Baker.
