Animal Instinct
– a multidisciplinary group show
by Tania De Rozario, Ye Shufang, Tan Wee Lit, Dana Lam, Hazel Lim, Shubigi Rao,
Jane Porter, Marcia Ong, Joy Lee and Koh Tien Gui
Working on various levels, Animal Instinct is a multi-disciplinary exhibition
that aims to address various parallels between art-makers and their animal
companions. Artists’ intentions are often misinterpreted or mis-explained by
third parties; animals have had their actions and intentions similarly
misinterpreted by human beings. Animals as aesthetic or artistic symbols also
lend interesting perspectives to various aspects of cultural and religious
ideas. Examining notions of language and (mis)communication, the show aims to
uncover/define a framework of instinctive processes that surface with any form
of art-making and with the interpretation of a given concept.
Animal Instinct features the works of artists who will use a variety of visual
languages in an attempt to make sense of the strange parallels between art,
artists and animals, not only addressing our relationship to the creatures we
share our world with, but examining the gut feelings that come into play when
addressing a specific issue in order to create a work. How does one’s own
animal….or artistic…. instincts come into play when making art?
