'Against the very real environmental drama unfolding across the globe, multidisciplinary artist Renhui Zhao presents the exhibition "A Bird in the Hand". The exhibition invites viewers to step into the The Institute of Critical Zoologists (ICZ), a multilayered conceit that operates across an array of levels. The exhibition will also reveal artefacts from the Institute’s Tokyo museum including indigenous Philippine bird traps and documents of “miraculous” eggshells containing baby fish, alongside revelatory items from the Institute’s archive of wildlife smuggling methods in the form of specially designed smuggling undergarments retrieved by customs.' — from the publisher's website
Essays by Naoko Noguchi, Zhao Renrui, Ding Li, and Kimiya Yui. The catalogue includes a special reprinted poster of Norishige Kanai's celebrated 'Looking at Birds' (1957).
