Guest Curator: Corinna Ghaznavi

Museum London
April 23 to July 10, 2011
Opening Reception: Thursday, April 21, 2011 at 8:00 pm



I'm looking forward to this show full of smart artists organised by a smart curator. Also, Corinna very generously invited me to make a contribution to the catalogue, based on some of my own research. I wrote a short essay about relations between humans and non-human animals in the context of neuroscience. I really enjoyed writing it and I'm excited to see what other people contributed.

Leah Sandals recently posted about another show in London, Clark McDougall's Destination Places which is on at the McIntosh Gallery until May 14. Two shows for the price of one manageable road trip!

Note: If you happen to be in London on Saturday April 30, drop by the Landon Library (167 Wortley Road) at 2:30 pm for the 5th annual Diorama Extravaganza. Von Bark and I are guest jurists again this year.
