Animal Kingdom
This exhibition features works by 14 artists and art collectives drawn from five centuries and includes masterpieces of biological illustration in watercolour as well as highly provocative contemporary art in a variety of media. Together these illuminate our shifting understanding of the forces that shape the natural world and our understanding of our own place in it.
The exhibition is underpinned by Systema Naturae, Carl Linnaeus’s revolutionary and seminal book about the intricate flora and fauna of our planet. His classification system inspired some of the best illustrators in art history, whose depictions of the diversity of plants and animals navigated the territory where art and science meet. This exhibition explores the legacy of biological illumination, an art form traditionally developed in the pre-photographic era using watercolour media. Watercolour was the medium of choice because its convenience made it appropriate for artists to take with them into the field for making direct studies from nature. One goal for the exhibition is to make note of the philosophical reach that is linked to biological illuminations while we celebrate the aesthetic value of the watercolours themselves.
The historical works are presented in dialogue with modern art that profoundly portrays the great challenges of our time. The contemporary artists in this exhibition reflect a profound shift in perspective in philosophically provocative and conceptual ways. Some evoke the spectre of extinction, but instead of reductively conjuring visions of a hell-scape, their work expresses more personal meditations on multiple alternative trajectories for ideas that generate holistic thinking. Some present more poetic responses to the legacy of Linnaeus and the collecting practices of early naturalists, while others hold up a mirror to our tendency to run away from acknowledging our problems that are caused by everyday human addictions.
Participating artists: The Rudbeck Family (17th–18th century), Maria Sibylla Merian (1647–1717), Barbara Regina Dietzsch (1706–1783), John James Audubon (1785–1851), Magnus & Wilhelm von Wright (1805–1868 & 1810–1887), Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919), Walton Ford (b. 1960), Mark Dion (b. 1961), Christine Ödlund (b.1963), Astrid Svangren (b. 1972), Carlos Amorales (b. 1970), Nathalie Djurberg & Hans Berg (b. 1978 & 1978) and the art collective teamLab (founded in 2001)

アーティスト
チームラボ
アートコレクティブ。2001年から活動を開始。集団的創造によって、アート、サイエンス、テクノロジー、そして自然界の交差点を模索している国際的な学際的集団。アーティスト、プログラマ、エンジニア、CGアニメーター、数学者、建築家など、様々な分野のスペシャリストから構成されている。
チームラボは、アートによって、自分と世界との関係と新たな認識を模索したいと思っている。人は、認識するために世界を切り分けて、境界のある独立したものとして捉えてしまう。その認識の境界、そして、自分と世界との間にある境界、時間の連続性に対する認知の境界などを超えることを模索している。全ては、長い長い時の、境界のない連続性の上に危うく奇跡的に存在する。
チームラボの作品は、ロサンゼルス現代美術館(ロサンゼルス)、ニュー・サウス・ウェールズ州立美術館(シドニー)、南オーストラリア州立美術館(アデレード)、サンフランシスコ・アジア美術館(サンフランシスコ)、アジア・ソサエティ(ニューヨーク)、ボルサン・コンテンポラリー・アート・コレクション(イスタンブール)、ビクトリア国立美術館(メルボルン)、アモス・レックス(ヘルシンキ)に収蔵されている。
