exhibition: 5 February - 19 March 2011
Two Window Project in Berlin presents WANTED in its ongoing program of themed multi-artist events and the first that is joint venture with the janinebeangallery.
This exhibition focuses on the two most familiar of domestic pets, the cat and dog. Through the ages there have been many depictions of people of all classes and origins with their cats or dogs, kings and queens, hunters, farmers and of course with families and children. From very early on the ancient Egyptians and their Great Sphinx, all of recorded history includes images of both the domesticated and the wild, and currently with the uploaded pictures of on social network sites of today, these animals have been glorified, praised and beloved by humans in many different ways.
Just as the very unique characteristics are described for the Chinese Zodiac signs of the Tiger and the Dog, there are many personal factors that will put each person in one group or the other. Studies show that most people lean favorably towards only one genus and only a very few embrace both the feline and the canine equally, just as the familiar question asks, “Are you a cat person or a dog person?”
Two Window Project will include new works by gallery artists that will visualize this familiar topic from many different points of view; historic, literal, fantasy and from their own personal experiences and interpretations, come and see for yourself.
