Catching The Spirit
Representations of Vodou Spirits in Contemporary Art from Haiti
11th October 2000 to 11th November 2000



 

Known as the 'cradle of voodoo' this exhibition, following that of contemporary art from Haiti, will highlight both the traditional art of Benin still surviving into the present, and the many exciting young artists who are starting to forge impressive reputations abroad with work that includes everything from masks made from recycled jerry-cans to disturbing but highly emotive installations utilising discarded dolls to give telling commentary upon the human condition of the present.
