Outdoor installation.
Othering is a way to exclude, deny, label and alienate. In The Other Side Artists Christine Rabenold and Kevin Valentine collaborate on an installation which illustrate the exclusion of others in a way that is lawn-appropriate. Rabenold’s inoffensive ceramic bunnies are held back on a lawn by Valentine’s fence constructed from found twigs and sticks. In times of conflict and turmoil, we often need metaphors to illustrate the absurd nature of some arguments including total exclusion of those who are in need. The Other Side collaboration demonstrates the outcome of a small bit of suburban land divided into habitable and exclusionary halves.
