RatKind : The Troubling Universe of Bonnie Baxter >

“Do you like rats? While one would be tempted to spontaneously answer “no,” Bonnie Baxter’s project RatKind explores an even more fundamental question: why don’t we like rats?

With her series “RatKind,” major contemporary Quebec artist, Bonnie Baxter, poses questions as essential and distrubing as the fate of humanity. Powerful work that confronts us with our own fears as well as the vision of an increasingly probable future, “RatKind” won the Prix Télé-Québec on the occasion of the 11th International Contemporary Print Biennial of Trois-Rivières.“
