Hear Us Roar – The Sixth Extinction
solo exhibition
According to statistics by the WWF, scientists calculate that between 0.01 and 0.1% of all species are now becoming extinct each year. While no one knows exactly how many species exist, a low estimate is that there are 2 million species on our planet and a high estimate is that it could be up to 100 million species. This means that with our current yearly extinction rate is between 200-2000 species on a low estimate and up to 100,000 species on a high estimate.
Are we in the middle of the sixth extinction? If our current extinction rates continue, humans are also one of the species on the extinction list?
Swedish born artist Cecilia Fogelberg's works emerge from an otherworld of folktales, myths and fables. A colourful, subversive story telling perhaps imagined from the deep forests of her childhood village or an in-between place for a self acknowledged cultural exile.
Fogelberg holds a BFA (Sculpture) from VCA, Melbourne and is a trained art conservator from Melbourne University’s CCMC. Fogelberg has held solo shows at Craft Victoria, VIC, 2008 and Linden Centre for Contemporary Arts, VIC, 2006. Fogelberg has been represented in exhibitions at regional institutions including Hands On: Craft in Contemporary Art, Hazelhurst Regional Gallery & Art Centre, NSW, 2011 and The Bon Scott Project, Fremantle Art Centre, WA, 2008 and was the winner of the Linden Postcard Show, Linden Centre for Contemporary Arts, Melbourne in 2006.
