The habit of gathering at dusk by birds – especially crows, starlings, thrushes, and gulls – shapes their lives, but the birds themselves can also radically alter the physical landscape itself. For centuries naturalists and artists have responded to this remarkable avian behaviour. In turn both the birds and their human observers help inform the way all of us see place and nature.
In a mixture of words, photographs and moving images, British author and naturalist, Mark Cocker, explores these issues in a presentation uniquely written for The Arts Institute, as part of our exploring...

Land/Sea includes selected works from Perry’s Môr Plastig series, in which he collects and forensically photographs plastic objects such as bottles, shoes and packaging washed up...

Dark Materialism is the first solo exhibition by London-based artist Ula Dajerling. Her new and recent sculptures are presented in the gallery as well as a commissioned installation.
For Dajerling, the actions involved in producing her sculptures are significant. Her exploration of form and the transformation of matter from one state to another are central to her process.
