Melanie Jackson's new work, International Fauna, is a blast, an anti-anthem, where a parade of animal symbols designated by nation states quick change through a background of digital colour fields. The film was commissioned by Relational and produced with Animate Projects and Picture This. The film can be viewed on the Relational page of this site, Animate Projects, Vimeo and downloaded from iTunes. Animate Projects commissioned writer, artist and architect Stephen Beasley to write an essay on the work. You can see Melanie Jackson, Stephen Beasley and Gary Thomas of Animate in person discussing International Fauna at the Gallery Launch at Picture This, Bristol on 8 May 2pm. The film will be screened 12-5.30pm. This event is the first gallery screening of the work. Drinks and refreshments provided.
