The observational skills and techniques of artists, including their speculations, have enabled the development of the biological sciences since their inception. We learnt about plants and animals through drawings long before the advancements of technologies such as microscopes and photography.
UnNatural History features over 20 international artists working in Aotearoa New Zealand, Austria, Belgium, Germany, India, Ireland, Kenya, Mexico, Singapore, Turkey, UK and USA. It includes four newly commissioned works responding to the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum’s own natural sciences collection by Frances Disley, Dubmorphology, Tania Kovats and Gözde Ilkin.
Artists in the show include:
Christina Agapakis, Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg & Sissel Tolaas / Doug Aitken / Angela Brazil / Gerard Byrne / David Claerbout / Mat Collishaw / Dorothy Cross / Frances Disley / Dubmorphology / Alex Hartley / Andy Holden / Gözde İlkin / Tania Kovats / Michael Landy / Wangechi Mutu / Marianne North / Calvin Pang & David Robinson / Raqs Media Collective / Lisa Reihana / Sonya Schönberger / Yinka Shonibare CBE / Sarah Sze / Francis Upritchard / Danh Võ
