Simon Bejer: Paradise Glitch @ General Assembly
Combining kitsch and art history Simon Bejer’s exhibition is all about the extinct Dodo and how it’s become a story of humanity’s rapacious dominance over the world and the miscasting of the Dodo as a slow dumb creature. It includes a painting of a father teaching his son to hunt in a tender moment loaded with violent intent, a sculpture of a beheaded Dodo held aloft by a figure and a working claw machine filled with ‘Dodo eggs’. It’s filled with references that bring together the history of humans and the species we drove to extinction. Until 26th October, free.
