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.
