  Colin Darke: Crunch
May 4 – May 18 (Launch May 4, 6.00pm)
The Black Box Gable Wall

Image
Admission free
 
Colin Darke’s Crunch is a copy, onto the gable-end wall of the Black Box, of William Holman Hunt’s 1854 painting The Scapegoat.

Referring to the current economic crisis, it combines two factors: (1) the clichéd image of financial collapse, the suited businessman jumping from an office window and (2) George Bush’s response to the 2001 attack on New York’s World Trade Center, when he was reading, with schoolchildren, a copy of Siegfried Engelmann’s The Pet Goat.
