'Walter's Attic'
Sarah Key


25 August - 5 Sept 2009
Preview: 25th Aug, 6.30 - 8pm

The winner of The Attenborough Prize 2008 Sarah Key presents a new body of work in Walter’s Attic.

Sarah Key’s new work is centered on images of animals often taken from examples of taxidermy that are transformed by imagined anthropomorphic narratives. The work is often dark, filmic and absurdist in its representation of animals ‘as human’.

The Attenborough Prize is an annual £2,000 prize awarded to the best contemporary visual artist featuring in the Open exhibition at The City Gallery. In addition to the £2,000 prize, The City Gallery hosts an exhibition in the Upstairs Gallery for the winning artist.
