Contemporary Artists & Birdwatching
16th March 2024An online talk with Daniel & Clara, Andy Holden, Marcus Coates and Hanna Tuulikki, four contemporary artists making work about birds and birdwatching.
From the art of nest building, the politics of plumage, and the history of egg collecting, to the language of bird songs and alarm calls, and birdwatching as a ritual for reaching beyond the human, this talk will explore how these artists speak to the wider picture of human/animal dynamics and ultimately seek to rethink our relationship with the natural world.
This event is being presented by Art Exchange to accompany Daniel & Clara's exhibition The Watcher & The Bird at Albert Sloman Library, University of Essex.
