A major new exhibition exploring man’s impact on climate change will open at Bury Art Museum and Sculpture Centre on Saturday 4 March.
In 2019 Bury Art Museum acquired seven photographic prints by Daniel Steegmann Mangrane called “Le Pensée Ferale”, with the support of the Sfumato Foundation and Art Fund, and the assistance of Liverpool Biennial.
These photographs are the starting point for this exhibition. “Le Pensée Ferale” explores how the once domesticated dogs of Rio de Janeiro now live in a feral state in the world’s largest urban forest, located in the Tijuca National Park, in order to survive the impact man has had on the place they once lived. The work raises questions about subjectivity and our attitude towards our environment, reinforcing that nature is not without perception or feeling.
The exhibition also features work by Mishka Henner, Brigitte Jurack, Hilary Jack, Shezad Dawood, McCoy Wynne, Mark Mcleish, Pamela Schilderman, Emmie Shaw-Peake, Bob Bicknell-Knight and Stephen Walton.
Funded by Arts Council England, the exhibition will run until 21 October.
Bury Art Museum is open 10am to 5pm Tuesday to Friday and from 10am to 4.30pm on Saturday.
