Serena Korda : Aping the Beast

25 May-3 Aug 2013

Overview

In Aping the Beast London-based British artist Serena Korda uses the staging of animal symbolism and folklore to explore questions of mimicry, spectacle, ritual and humour. The central work in the exhibition is a giant 15ft tall latex puppet dinosaur, created by Korda, recalling early B-movie horror films such as Godzilla or The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms. The artist will also be premiering a new film, featuring the monster, shot on location in Blackpool’s historic Tower Circus.
