This exhibition aims at analysing ways in which civilisation has been portrayed throughout the Petrie museum objects, and how these object have been reconsidered under, and after, the apotheosis of modernism. The resulting works reflect each artist’s individual take on the museum’s objects and the theme of historic representation.

Rules for Kootaks and Figurines

2012

Mixed media artist book,

27.1 x 21 cm each (20 parts)

This artist book with thick colourful cardboard pages is inscribed with rules that govern the making, storing, displaying and logistic concerns of the Kootaks and figurines. It is the intention that these rules solidify the system that controls the process of making in the realm of the Kootaks though they are easily dodged or worked around as there are plenty of loopholes. The pages of the book are not bound as the rules may be added or discarded at any point of the process and the use of washable emulsion paint for the text also allude to ephemeral quality of them. They are meant to be displayed on the floor and resting on the gallery’s walls.
