FLOCK PROJECT EXHIBITION

The installation of Flock Project was exhibited in its entirety in the minimal and evocative setting of The Project Space at Lewisham Arthouse, London.

It was the first opportunity to exhibit all the birds together as one group. The general public were invited to view the installation for a fortnight and their comments and contributions are now part of the project.

Many themes surfaced as the project was underway. We discussed the ubiquitous Pigeon and its success as a species, whilst suffering it’s portrayal as a pest. How the Pigeon’s image differs to that of the Dove, despite being relatives. We looked at migration in nature, objects and culture. Many participants provided their own recollections from the homes they had been forced to move from.

Varied and wonderful interpretations of the ‘bird’ were given an opportunity to sit alongside each other and interrelate as one group.
