Mat Collishaw, The Centrifugal Soul

The Centrifugal Soul is the title work and centrepiece of Mat Collishaw’s new exhibition at Blain|Southern. It is a sculpture in the form of a zoetrope, which animates scenes of bowerbirds and birds of paradise as they perform elaborate mating rituals. The work offers a captivating demonstration of how aesthetic diversity has evolved through sexual selection and also reflects the artist’s ongoing examination of our insatiable appetite for visual stimulation. Exhibition dates: 7 April – 27 May 2017 Private
