Getting to the nature of art at the Glucksman

The Glucksman’s new exhibitions combine images of animals with creatures from UCC’s zoology museum, says Colette Sheridan

FROM a sinister-looking monkey to a sharply delineated photograph of a rat running across a wall, two interlinked exhibitions focusing on animals open at UCC’s Glucksman Gallery tomorrow .

Fieldworks is an exhibition of animal habitats in contemporary art from all over the world while a complementary exhibition, The Learning Zoo, displays artefacts from UCC’s zoology museum. Curated by Chris Clarke from the Glucksman Gallery, the exhibitions are in association with the university’s school of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences (BEES).
