'Humanimal' presents a range of works representing both humans and animals... and the mysterious realm between the two. Works by 19 artists explore the many different relationships that humans have with animals, both in the physical world and within the human psyche. Images, sculpture, and video works provoke thought as to what makes humans human, and how much of the animal remains in the human mind and body. This collection of work combines references to traditional art styles with cutting edge technology and techniques to bring a fresh, startling, and stimulating look into the ages old relationship between man and beast.
