Régine Debatty Trawls Ocean of Marine Art and Commentary

In her review of Oceans (2023), a new Whitechapel Gallery anthology of sea-centric artworks and texts gathered by Pandora Syperek and Sarah Wade, critic Régine Debatty highlights favourites. Picks include Shimabuku’s octopus diaries, Saskia Olde Wolbers’ 2017 film Pfui – Pish, Pshaw/Prr, and an interview with Brian Jungen, whose “large sculptures of whale skeletons, made of mass-produced plastic garden furniture, allude to the threat of uncontrollable pollution.” (image: Cetology, 2002)
