The gallery is glad to share the exhibition Animals in art with Daniel Firman at Arken Museum, Ishoj, Danemark, until January 10th, 2021.

Have you ever seen a full-grown elephant float? Artist Daniel Firman lets us experience precisely such a spectacular dream vision at ARKEN’s major exhibition Animals in Art. The exhibition 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.
