‘The Animal looks at us, and we are naked before it. Thinking perhaps begins there.’
Derrida, J. (2008) The Animal That Therefore I Am.
All images , the audio file (played during the installation), and a video below show work from the MA Camberwell MA Fine Art summer show. Title: The Museum of Human violence: 2063.
3 posters provide the context for the museum. They are all A1.
40 copies of ‘take-away’ booklet provide analysis of violence in schooling practices:
The booklet also included a ‘map’ to guide visitors around the new gallery of learning violence: schooling:
Each double page of the booklet analyses one aspect of violence in schooling, with an illustration and a poem in the style of Tom Paxton, ‘what did you learn in school today?’ (new lyrics written by artist). For example:
Blackboard, made from plywood, painted with blackboard paint. The drawing of the dissected frog, with instructions is written on it:
13 frogs challenge the ‘human gaze’ and have ‘escaped’ their container:
A note in the gallery explains that Weksa Nosmada, herpetologist-artist records that the painting below was of the last frog she ever saw, pre-rupture. (painted around 2033)
