SUMMARY:Primate | Daphne Wright at Hugh Lane Gallery
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to present Primate by Irish artist Daphne Wrig
 ht. This work is one of a series of sculptures by Wright which explores th
 e relationship between humans\, animals and medicine. The sculpture was ca
 st from a mould from a recently dead rhesus monkey at the scientific insti
 tution\, Wisconsin National Primate Research Centre.\n\nThe artist explain
 s\, “To approach the problem of what we humans do by involving animals i
 n our human life-saving research\, the central act of making the artwork w
 as to access this stage of the animal’s life-death via its direct physic
 al form. The primate is our kin and our stand in. Not only in medicine but
  also for the heart and the imagination. It is an image of the human. Ever
 ything about how it might be like us is filled with pathos: its body\, its
  proximity\, its delicate biology\, its expression. The rhesus monkey is o
 ur ancestor\, our antecedent past and passed away\, an object of reverie\,
  honour\, compassion and mourning.”\n\nThis notable addition to the coll
 ection continues to strengthen the Gallery’s mission of acquiring works 
 by Irish and international artists to reflect evolving art practices. The 
 current display of Primate coincides with Wright’s solo exhibition Deep 
 Rooted Things in The Ashmolean Museum. Oxford which was conceived in partn
 ership with Hugh Lane Gallery. The exhibition catalogue is available in th
 e HLG Bookshop.
