'Art is continually haunted by the animal', wrote Deleuze and
Guattari. Over the past two decades, animals have quite literally
invaded the gallery space, from Joseph Beuys' co-habiting with a
coyote, Janis Kounelli's instillation of live horses, Damien
Hirst's shark in formaldehyde to Mark Dion's natural history
displays and Marco Evaristti's 'goldfish in a blender'. In this
latest addition to the highly acclaimed 'Art and...' series,
Giovanni Aloi surveys the insistent presence of animals in the
world of contemporary art, exploring the leading concepts which
inform this emerging practice. From exhibitions featuring live
animals, to taxidermy, and interspecies communication, Giovanni
Aloi explores how animals feature in modern art with a range of
thought-provoking and innovative visual representations. Art and
Animals challenges ideas of identity, 'otherness' and civilisation
by explaining the role animals have occupied in our cultural
development and illustrating their presence in the visual arts
today.
