Strychnin Gallery Berlin presents:Whaleless.
An international group show dedicated to the whales. Opens March 27th at 7 p.m.
“Whaleless” is an art project dedicated to those artists wishing to express their indignation, rage, shame, disbelief or concern about the slow disappearance of the fascinating giant marine mammals. Pollution, whaling and unacceptable fishing practices are only some of the causes that seriously endanger their survival. It seems that they are slowly but inevitably growing extinct, while the consequences of their gradual
disappearance are impossible to predict. And yet we can be certain that the world’s ecosystem – not just the oceans’ but that of our entire planet – will be affected by this change. The world would not be the same without whales, which is why action needs to be taken immediately. To this end, a percentage of the sales will be donated to the Whales and Dolphins Conservation Society (WDCS).
The project “Whaleless” was born 3 years ago on the pages of the Italian Pig magazine, created by the Italian curators Giovanni Cervi and Res Pira. The domain whaleless.com, which by now features over 200 artworks the duo has since received from all over the world – ranging from the USA to Honk Kong, from Russia to Venezuela – has since gotten hundreds of thousands of clicks: “Whaleless” was ready to begin its international exhibition tour. Starting at Strychnin Gallery London in July 2008, the exhibition has since travelled to La Rochelle and Florence, and will continue to travel over the next few years, trying to
raise awareness for this global environmental problem.
Artists featured include (among others):
Ashley Wood, Catalina Estrada, Stuart Semple, Wayne Chisnall, Lee Baker, Arianna Carossa, Squp, Chris Bonobo, Ryan Obermeyer, Zaelia Bishop, Aurélien Police, Nicoz Balboa, Giuliano Sale, Silvia Argiolas, Kokomoo, Tamara Ferioli, Marie Luise Emmermann, Bethany Marchman, Jenny Bird, LostFish, Lisa Mei Ling Fong, Wade Furlong, Chris von Steiner, Barbara Canepa, Ansgar Noeth, Angie Mason, Karin Andersen, Mimi S, Madeline Von Foerster and Zoe Lacchei.
