Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The visually striking artwork features a plush, lifelike rabbit perched atop a simple black hat, creating an intriguing juxtaposition of natural and artificial elements. The soft, textured fur of the rabbit contrasts with the smooth, matte surface of the hat, drawing the viewer's attention to the playful and surreal nature of the composition. The overall minimalist approach, with a plain white background, allows the rabbit to take center stage, inviting the audience to ponder the artist's intention behind this unexpected pairing. The work likely explores themes of illusion, whimsy, and the relationship between the natural and the constructed world. ...

Morag Keil
B.1985, British

Morag Keil’s practice is ouroboric: self-referring, self-erasing, self-consuming, regurgitating. Keil’s installations have the bald efficiency of something bargain-bucket but workable. This amateurish construction — of clunky paper-mâché houses downtrodden with office heels, of a low-fi camera’s glitchy rove over motorbikes — actualises her reflection of contemporaneity’s squashing and conditioning of subjectivity, as well as the interlocking of production and pleasure. Beneath the watermark of professionalism and propriety lies a cesspit of personal contradictions and anxiety-trimmed mediations. Through a wide variety of mediums including painting, photography, sculpture, installation and video, as well as collaborative projects with artists such as Georgie Nettell, Keil’s work often relieve the aestheticising cliché of the post-financial crash and millennial precarity. In her gallery exhibition, Here We Go Again, the artist simulated in three dimensions an out of date video game mocking home automation: doors with peepholes open up to doors, walls painted in soft pink and green screen, and televisions playing a lush forest CGI animation from a BBC One ident, which then cut to a blue circle that wobbled as a voice-over asked in the half-droning tones of Amazon’s virtual assistant, Alexa. Behind Keil’s work is the demand to know why we live like this and the impulse to tear it all down; but, until that happens, we wander. ...
