Peaceable Kingdom invites artists to investigate our
storied and rich relationship with the animal world. The exhibition
will explore the ways in which animals have been a presence in the
visual arts as metaphors, totems, objects of fear, and sources of
emotional attachment and affection. The history of human and animal
interaction is filled with tales of love, unusual friendships,
failed domestication, and fearsome predators. From Kipling’s
ferocious Shere Khan to the early imperial menageries, human fascination
with the animal kingdom has run the gamut from emotional connection,
to economic exploitation, and even scientific curiosity. Throughout
all of these interactions, however, the sense of wonder we feel when
we encounter animal life has been an enduring theme that has
informed their continual and abiding presence in the visual arts. Peaceable Kingdom
encourages artists to meditate on
these complex and diverse relationships, addressing such issues as
antagonism, admiration, attachment, and even the politically
charged issue of animal rights.
