'Terrapolis' group exhibition, Athens, 2015.

TERRAPOLIS. Curated by Iwona Blazwick, Director, Whitechapel Gallery. 27 May – 26 July 2015, École Française d’Athènes, Athens

A garden of an archaeological institute in Athens provides the backdrop for works of art that reconnect the human with the animal. Echoing the satyrs, sphinxes and centaurs of Greek statuary, contemporary sculptures, installations and films draw on myth, drama and the animal kingdom to suggest a ‘bioethics’ for the 21st century.

William Cobbing was commissioned to make a new sculpture 'Remake Remodel 4' in which life-cast hands seem to model a large suspended lump of clay. The work alludes to the looping process of making, grappling with material in a constant state of flux rather than reaching a finished static outcome.

Artists include: Caroline Achaintre, Allora and Calzadilla, Huma Bhabha, Lynn Chadwick, William Cobbing, Enrico David, Angus Fairhurst, Tue Greenfort, Asta Gröting, Henrik Håkansson, Markus Karstieß, Yayoi Kusama, Richard Long, Sarah Lucas, Marlie Mul, Katja Novitskova, Anatoly Osmolovsky, Norbert Prangenberg, Ugo Rondinone.
