ARKEN’s major exhibition Animals in Art explores and unpacks the intense preoccupation of animals seen in contemporary art these years. Thirty-four international artists, including three artist duos, offer their takes on our relationship with the other species with which we share the globe. The works explore various connections between humans and animals as played out in the Western world’s consumption patterns, storytelling and outlooks on nature views. At the same time, the works are a tribute to the amazing animals – and a cry of concern urging us to consider their future under human domination.
