Following a colleague’s link I have been looking at the work of Singaporean multidisciplinary artist Zhao Renhui who had an exhibition in London last year A Bird in the Hand. Thinking about my entry for 9 March and the ‘conceit’ it was interesting to read: ‘Against the very real environmental drama unfolding across the globe, …Renhui Zhao invites viewers to step in the Institute of Critical Zoologists (ICZ), a multilayered conceit…Zhao creates elaborate scenarios or alternate realities to interrogate questions of art and artifice, credence and fantasy, and the borders of reality’. www.criticalzoologists.org/abirdinthehand
