The Arts Catalyst
present a free symposium on Non-Human Primates as part of the
Interspecies: artists collaborating with animals exhibition
Symposium: Non-Human Primates
7-9pm Friday 2 October 2009
This free symposium brings together Sarah-Jane Vick, primatologist and psychologist; Patrick Munck, artist, videographer and collaborator with Nicolas Primat; Rachel Mayeri, artist; and chair, Rob La Frenais, curator of Interspecies.
The event focuses on the work of the late Nicolas Primat, who was one of the
few artists to work directly with primatologists and with non-human primates.
Primats's work stimulates new ways of thinking about our closest relatives, the
higher apes, such as chimpanzees, gorillas and bonobos. Patrick Munck, his
collaborator and videographer, will describe some of the projects he and Primat
undertook. Sara Jane Vick, primatologist and psychologist, will outline
some of the important issues in primatology today as well as describe her work
on face recognition in non-human primates. Rachel Mayeri will talk about her
own future projects with retired ‘acting’ apes and talk about the similarities
between human and non-human primates. As well as chaing the discussion; Rob La Frenais will
describe The Arts Catalyst's uncompleted project with Nicolas Primat to
investigate creativity in chimpanzees. Admission free, but places are limited.
