Escaped, Found a Hideout, Still on the Run(Animal News)
If urban animals were able to tell us how their life is in Ostrava, what would we find out?
The animal news reporting turns the gallery into a newsroom. The building, which once served as the city’s slaughterhouse, now provides the venue for expanding our interspecies imagination and disrupting the boundary between us and other-than-human beings. It also brings the news of a quite complex picture of urban fellow citizenship.
In the exhibition, artists and other residents ask urban animals, especially those from Ostrava and the surrounding area, about their lives in our families and various kinds of neighbourhoods. They even ask those fleeing from us, escaping our traps and hiding in the cracks of walls, industrial structures and remnants of nature. Come and see, hear or create stories of domesticated, feral and wild animals to help find a safer and more equal place for them to live.
Twenty-six new works were created for this project, mainly thanks to the residencies. The gallery was thus able to provide facilities for fourteen residents and professional conditions for creative work right in Ostrava. The residencies were funded by the European Union – Next Generation EU.
