A couple of weeks ago I found an original newspape

A couple of weeks ago I found an original newspaper clipping from 1904 about Rosa Bonheur and Madame Dieulafoy wearing trousers. Women working, cattle, evil influence and slavery of dress in one clipping!

“WOMEN IN MEN'S CLOTHES,
GOVERNMENT PERMITS.
"I know nothing in law to prevent a woman dressing as a man," said the Westminster magis- trate in discharging the little old woman in trousers at Westminster on Wednesday; but they manage these things different'y in France (writes a correspondent), where the question of dress for men and women comes under Government control. Here, in exceptional cases, a woman may habitually wear men's clothes-and vice versa-but this can only be done in safety by filing a petition to the French Government and obtaining the necessary authorisation. Rosa Bonheur received one of these rare permits, for her studies of cattle and horses threw her much among a class of men who showed little respect for her sex either in their conversa- tion or demeanour towards her while she was sketching. In some places, indeed, the poor ignorant peasants fearful lest her art should work some evil influence on their cattle, regarded her with dangerous mistrust, on one occasion even denounc ing her as a witch. So she took to man's attire, and her short hair and masculine cast of coun- tenance completed the disguise to perfection. After all, Marietta Robusti, Tintoretto's daughter-her- self an excellent painter-had done the same hun- dreds of years before.
Another French lady who has obtained the Govern- ment permit to wear men's clothes is Madame Dieu- lafoy, the distinguished wife of Professor Dieulafoy, whose archæological researches with her husband have taken her to Persia, Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, and many other distant parts of the globe. Madame Dieulafoy found that feminine skirts were a dis- heartening handicap in archaeological explorations, making the work doubly fatiguing, and constantly coming to grief. At length she could bear the slavery of dress no longer, so she cut her hair short and donned a suit of her husband's c clothes, and she has dressed as a man ever since.”

For every drawing I build a specific drawing table

For every drawing I build a specific drawing table depending on paper size, weight of the paper roll, and some other variables. This time I realised that you can come a long way with cardboard if you have hooks in the ceiling.

This is a study of some details found in Rosa Bonheur’s painting The Horse Fair. The drawing will be on display at @krognoshusetlund on Feb 25 in the exhibition The Tyrant And The Muse. Hope to see you there!

It’s been three years now. I still miss her so much. But most of all I’m grateful for the way she changed my life. She taught me about love across species, a life altering experience that still guides me forward. Choose kindness. Adopt don’t shop. Go vegan!

THE INGENUITY OF GENTLE MEN is a text-based artwor

THE INGENUITY OF GENTLE MEN is a text-based artwork about the ox portrayed in the painting The Lincolnshire Ox by Georg Stubbs (1790), placed in room 5 on the first floor of the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, UK. The text was read as part of a guided tour that took place 18 Nov 2022.

The Linconshire ox was a famous one. As young he was lost and won during a cockfight and in the end of his life said to be “the largest and fattest Ox ever seen in England”. The size of his body made him into a sensation and put on display for paying visitors in London. It was also because of his size that he was shopped into pieces and sold, shipped, and spread over the country before the autumn of 1791. In the attic of the Walker Art Gallery one of his hooves can still be found.   The hoof of the Linconshire Ox is placed in a small paper box, wrapped in tissue paper. And it is, even though no one has cared for it, a very shiny object, held together by a thread. In this text based artwork, performed as a guided tour, the hoof helps as a reminder of the consequences to non-human animals of human fascination with that which can be measured and compared.

Multispecies Disharmony in the Landscapes of the Walker Art Gallery (2022) is a text based artwork written to be performed as a guided tour. It was commissioned for the Animals and Landscapes Symposium organized by Edge Hill University and the Centre for Human Animal Studies in partnership with the Walker Art Gallery.

DISHARMONY IN GREEN In room 9, on the first floor

DISHARMONY IN GREEN
In room 9, on the first floor of the Walker Art Gallery there is a painting titled Harmony in Green on display, depicting a hamster cage. Or perhaps it is a cage meant to keep Guinea Pigs, since the artist Dan Hays has made a series of portraits of Guinea Pigs. But at the Walker the painting is fondly called the Hamster Cage by visitors and staff.

The domestication of the Syrian hamster, also known as the Golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus), began in the late 1700s. The ones kept as pets in cages today, all come from the same litter, captured to become laboratory animals, in a small region of Northwest Syria near the city of Aleppo in 1930.

Listen.

“My kind haven’t always been caged. Once we were wild. The history of cages started with a curios scientist who dug down 8 feet below the green surface into the brown ground and found a family of twelve, my ancestors. First the mother of the litter killed one of her own. Then the humans killed her. The ones left was hand-fed and brought to a university filled of curious humans. A couple managed to flee, chewing their way out, escaping through a hole in the ground. Oh, the resourcefulness of the wild! Left were only two siblings who was the start of our history as pets.
Knowing this, let me interpret this painting for you. The green that is named harmony, is not. Green means cage and surface. Green that you believe is lush, is in reality, cold metal and confinement. I dream of brown and fields of wheat. I dream myself 8 feet below the surface.”

Multispecies Disharmony in the Landscapes of the Walker Art Gallery (2022) is a text based artwork written to be performed as a guided tour. It was commissioned for the Animals and Landscapes Symposium organized by Edge Hill University and the Centre for Human Animal Studies in partnership with the Walker Art Gallery.

THE CORNER OF THE DOVES is a text-based artwork ab

THE CORNER OF THE DOVES is a text-based artwork about the doves inhabiting the two paintings Dante and Beatrice 1883 by Henry Holiday and Venus and Anchises 1889–1890 by William Blake Richmond, both placed in a corner of room 8 on the first floor of the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, UK. The text is read as part of a guided tour that took place 18 Nov 2022.

When I entered room 8 for the first time I had my curiosity set for a sculpture of a peacock placed in the centre of the room hoping that the sculpture could give me a chance to speak about bone china, that contains a minimum of 30% of phosphate derived from animal bone, first invented by Thomas Frye in the Bow porcelain factory conveniently located very close to the cattle markets and slaughterhouses of London and Essex.

But it was the doves of Richmond and Holiday that caught my full attention. With the two paintings activating the corner it was possible to feel the forcing of wind, the sounds as they picked seeds on the ground, the flapping wings as they were flying between the paintings swapping spaces and times and locations with each other. It was their corner, sharing experiences of humans.

Just as humans, doves have adapted to most of the habitats available on the planet, we co-habit the world together. Where there are humans there are doves, sharing our everyday life, therefore the histories of humans could become the histories of doves with the help of Dante, Beatrice, Venus and Anchises. From the sides of the two paintings the doves state: We are inhabiting your history, flying over your landscapes, making your history the history of us.

The event was funded by the UKRI-AHRC Landscape Decision programme as part of the Multispecies Storytelling Network. Thank you Konstnärsnämnden for covering the travel costs. Performed November 18, 2022, in Liverpool at the Walker Art Gallery.

The following weeks I will post images and text about the commissioned multispecies storytelling performance and workshop that I wrote and performed this November at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. You can already now read about the work on my website but here I will give some more information on parts of the research and stories developed. Looking forward to share some of the knowledge gained!

 “Multispecies Disharmony in the Landscapes of the Walker Art Gallery” is a text based artwork written to be performed as a guided tour. It was commissioned for the Animals and Landscapes Symposium organised by Edge Hill University and the Centre for Human Animal Studies in partnership with the Walker Art Gallery.
-
The work evolves around the imagined experiences of the non-human animals inhabiting seven paintings on display at the Walker Art Gallery. It brings forward their experiences of art production as well as the landscapes of the paintings they inhabit. The work centers on a less anthropocentric version of art history while using anthropomorphism and empathy as methods to imagine these new experiences.
-
What is it like to be part of the history of art and its production system of oppression and violence? How does the landscapes of humans affect the non-human animals that inhabit them? What happens if we refuse to read the abstract and once living symbolically, and instead recognise their agency?

These are the seven paintings that the work is centered around: 
Dante and Beatrice 1883 by Henry Holiday 
Venus and Anchises 1889–1890 by William Blake Richmond 
The Waterloo Coursing Meeting 1840 by Richard Ansdell 
Harmony in Green 1997 by Dan Hays
 Escaped 1865 by Joseph Edward Worrall 
Cow Mutations 1986 by Tim Head

Liverpool people! In relation to the Animals and L

Liverpool people! In relation to the Animals and Landscapes Symposium organised by the Multispecies Storytelling Network I have been invited to perform a guided tour at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool on 18 Nov. During the performance I will address the visible and invisible Fauna of the Art Museum, with the help of counter art histories, speaking on feathers, an ox, and the connection between milk and white pigments. Come by if in Liverpool! It’s free but you need to book a ticket.

From the Walker Art gallery site:
A guided tour and workshop with Swedish artist EvaMarie Lindahl that explores the untold multispecies histories of the Walker Gallery

Attend a guided tour and workshop with the Swedish artist EvaMarie Lindahl that explores the untold multispecies histories of the Walker Art Gallery.

The guided tour tells the histories of portrayed non-human animals from their point of view. What is it like to be studied, painted and then organised within a gallery? And what circumstances surround the painted oxen, birds, dogs and cats of the Walker Art Gallery?

During the workshop we will draw, think and imagine ourselves closer to an art history with a multispecies perspective. You will be given tools, developed by the artist, to imagine the realities and histories of the portrayed animals on display.

Welcome to a guided tour that is also an art performance, and a workshop in multispecies storytelling.
