Natural Selection

Galerie 5, Université d'Angers
2015

This exhibition was the culmination of a three month residency at the Université d'Angers. We selected a number of works from the collection of the FRAC Pays de la Loire and used them as the starting point for some games with the students. The games, involving drawing, writing and modelling from memory, produced mutated versions of the work which we then interpreted to produce a group of new works.

The project is documented on our Natural Selection blog
