EvaMarie Lindahl: Resistance within the Museum Fauna

Decentring the human in art history in favour of non-human animals. This book centers around Lindahl's practice-based doctorial thesis from 2022. From the publisher: Resistance within the Museum Fauna is a book that brings the portrayed non-human animals that populate the walls of the art museum to life. Through text-based artworks, drawings, posters and collages art history is examined from the animals perspective. What sort of histories can we hear through the cracks of the varnish, if we listen carefully? What are the consequences of being studied by an artist? For the book Claire Parkinson write about anthropomorphism, and Brett Mills and Alex Lockwood write about the consequences artistic and visual work can have on non-human animals. It also contains a conversation between Amelie Björck and EvaMarie Lindahl about how in their respective practices they are critical of the use of non-human animals in visual and artistic work.
