Is there a Museum Fauna hidden within the Lund University art collection? How can we look for it? And how can artists write, perform, and exhibit this fauna? Join EvaMarie Lindahl as she shares her research and the results that will be featured in her upcoming exhibition. This artist talk will share EvaMarie Lindhal's ongoing journey towards a comprehensive solo exhibition at the Museum of Artistic Process and Public Art (SE). As part of the exhibition, she has been invited to create new readings of the Lund University art collections, placing non-human animals at the center. During the talk, she will explore the concept of Museum Fauna, a term she developed during her practice-based PhD project Resistance within the Museum Fauna (2022). This concept encompasses not only visual representations of non-human animals within the museum walls but also the layers of individual non-human animals trapped within the process of art production. The event will begin at 4.15pm in the Old Gym, LG10. The talk will last for 45 minutes, with 30 minutes for questions afterwards. Refreshments will be available from 5.30pm. EvaMarie Lindahl, PhD, is a visual artist and researcher based in Sweden. Her research-driven art projects are situated in the intersection of Critical Animal Studies, the visual arts and activism. Lindahl has developed an art practice that encompasses large-scale graphite drawings as well as text-based performance work and collective self-organisation. Through her projects, Lindahl is questioning the writing of art history from an anthropocentric and patriarchal position by correcting, re-writing and imagining new (art) histories. This has developed into an art practice that could be called art history activism. In her current work, she is questioning the human-animal dichotomy and addressing the human habit of oppressing other animals by using them as resource and material in art production. Lindahl earned her doctoral degree at Edge Hill University (UK) at The Centre for Human Animal Studies in 2022. Her doctoral research project titled Resistance Within the Museum Fauna – Challenging Anthropocentrism through Counter Art Histories and Non-Human Narratives is a practice-based thesis within visual art and critical animal studies that is engaged in decentring the human in art history in favour of non-human animals. Lindahl earned her Master of Fine Arts at The Malmö Art Academy in Sweden. Her work has been exhibited and performed at several institutions such as the National Gallery of Denmark, Bonniers Konsthall, The Art Museum in Ystad, Malmö Konsthall, Uppsala Art Museum, the Bishop’s House in Lund, Stene Projects Gallery, Gallery Ping Pong, Kvinnohistoriskt Museum and Malmö Museum. She has been awarded project and working grants from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee and is represented by several private and public collections.
