The exhibition's title comes from the seminal 1987 book by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guatari, A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia. Among other things, the authors argue against the idea of the coherent, unitary individual, and instead posit that we are many things at once: woman, man, child, adult, animal, vegetable. The human mind does not necessarily conform to the rigid taxonomy that supposedly separates us from our feral counterparts. If human and animal are points on a continuum, the works in the exhibition occupy a shifting middle ground and demand that we expand our capacity for empathy, our idea of what it means to human, and our conception of ourselves.
