A LED billboard affixed to the facade of EMST reports on local events from the perspective of Athens’s animal inhabitants. This outdoor work initiates the shift in attention from human narratives to the recentering of animal subjectivity that underpins Katerina Gregos’s expansive group exhibition. Featuring over two hundred works by more than sixty artists, “Why Look at Animals? A Case for the Rights of Non-Human Lives” has the scale and heft of a biennial and aligns with Gregos’s penchant for ambitious socio-political themes. The exhibition takes its title from John Berger’s canonical 1977 essay, which critiques animals’ cultural and physical marginalization within modern industrial capitalism—part of the same process, he argues, that has reduced humans to isolated productive and consuming units.(1) Picking up where Berger left off, and building on philosophical and ethical frameworks developed by thinkers such as Peter Singer, Martha Nussbaum, and Tom Regan, Gregos’s exhibition probes our “systemic disconnection from the lives and deaths of animals.”(2)
