Fabulandia is The Lab's two-part exploration into the
world of the future, the domain of the impossible and
the fantastical. Fauna features the work of five artists
envisioning the drastically altered creatures that will
populate the terrain of Fabulandia. Fauna fast-forwards
viewers into a shadow land where endangered wildlife
has been conveniently removed and replaced by new and
improved versions. Extravagantly fabricated trophies
will be the only surviving memory of the natural world
and its wildlife as it once existed. Just think of it
- new strains of hybrid mutations will exist simply
for human convenience. Plants and animals will be co-joined
as tiny deer sprout massive antlers made from brightly
colored coral and double-headed sheep graze contentedly
in bucolic fields of endlessly blooming daisies. Envision
a hyper-efficient future when industry will have finally
created a seamless biotech blend of animals, machinery
and furniture. Covered in your choice of synthetic faux
fur... naturally. Press release
