YARAT Contemporary Art Centre presents ‘The Heart is a Lonely Hunter’, a group show bringing together recent and new work that explores the ways in which networked images of bodies and characters structure and transform viewers’ identities. The exhibition is co-curated by Suad Garayeva, Curatorial Director at YARAT and Michael Connor, Artistic Director of Rhizome at the New Museum in New York.
About
Working across a range of media, international artists Neil Beloufa, Hannah Black, Camille Henrot, Parker Ito, Bunny Rogers, Jasper Spicero and Lu Yang each examine themes of ownership, visual identity and the relationship between a society and their images. Central to the exhibition is Pierre Huyghe and Phillipe Parreno’s seminal project No Ghost Just a Shell (1999-2002) which explored the artistic reuse of an anime character. For ‘The Heart is a Lonely Hunter’, Huyghe’s two videos from this series will be shown.
