At the Fonds Hélène & Édouard Leclerc in Landerneau, France, curator Christian Alandete has collated more than 150 animal-centric artworks by 130 international artists – from Dorothea Tanning, Vassily Kandinsky and Henri Matisse to Ana Mendieta, Kiki Smith and Louise Bourgeois – for a show that definitely warrants a detour if you’re in the area. The exhibition leads viewers on a journey across ages and art forms to explore the connection between humans and animals, and between artists and their creaturely conjurings, whether observed, symbolic, mythological or imagined.
