Why look at birds by Robert Zhao
$22.00
“The work to follow is an exploration of these complexities and reminds us that birds occupy a large and central part of that universe that human beings constantly carve out of nature.” Ding Li
“In contemporary society birds are, perhaps, both the most watched and most eaten animal on our planet. They have become a focal point of debates about a ‘proper’ relationship between humankind and nature, and about definitions of humanity itself.” Naoko Noguchi
Against the very real environmental drama unfolding across the globe, multidisciplinary artist Renhui Zhao presents the exhibition A Bird in the Hand. The exhibition invites viewers to step into the The Institute of Critical Zoologists (ICZ), a multilayered conceit that operates across an array of levels.
“How do we celebrate 150 years of birdwatching?” Kimiya Yui
