Nine artists from around the world work with the theme of animality, curated by Dunedin based Angela Singer.

With a mix of national and international artists, Animality will explore the connections between our understandings of animals and the historical and cultural conditions in which these understandings have been formed. The artists featured will look at the material presence of animals in urban spaces and modern sensibilities, and how contemporary media culture is shaping our fundamental cultural expectations of animals and ourselves. The artists who will exhibit in Animality have radicalised the use of animals and animal imagery to address a range of questions about morality, responsibility, our relationship with the natural world and the nature of art itself.
