SIGHTINGS 42
approximately 760 kg of public property
November 18, 2024 to February 16, 2025
A project by Pedro Barbáchano
A wooden crate with shipping labels from the British Museum contains a stone of black granite of approximately 760 kilograms. A document states: “the Arabian manuscripts, the statues, and other collections which have been made for the French Republic, shall be considered as public property and subject to the disposal of the generals of the combined army.” When the language of Empire prescribes a reality which contradicts collective perception, can the document contain the collapse of the law?
TERMS
Dive into the second segment of the TERMS program, exploring the concept of “depression,” this time through the prism of the economic crisis of the 1930s. Read Andrée Lévesque’s essay, a professor in the Department of History at McGill University, shedding light on the repercussions of the Great Depression in Montreal. Explore a series of photographs taken by Canadian artist Margaret Watkins (1884-1969) during a stay in London amidst the Crisis years, along with the meticulous interpretation by Debra Antoncic, art historian, curator, and Director of the Riverbrink Art Museum.
