26 July - 3 August 2024 @ Greatorex Street
An anthropology museum curated by Flow Bracey and Daniela María
The world was so recent that many things lacked names, and in order to indicate them it was necessary to point.*We sliced off the top of its moon and scrawled our names into black sand. With numbers, we traced the orbits of shadows and invented clocks and nights. Things were bordered, released, engraved, discharmed. Animals were in heat. We did it through violent means in the name of discovery, for our god, Science. Land became territory, an apple to be cored. We stuck a flag in it.
finetoothcomb presents a series of talismans, utensils and figures, unearthed from a post-apocalyptic realm. These artefacts have been meticulously cleaned and then ordered carefully into a display.
Here you’ll find maps of subterranean cities and subconscious worlds. Love tokens melted like magma, musical instruments spun from lace. You’ll find masks, maquettes, jewellery, and tools.
In the centre of the museum you will find a diorama - a model of the site of discovery. It is made of earth. Historically, this term referred both to a skin of soil and a previously inhabitable planet. The diorama contains models and fragments of technologies that evolved at an unprecedentedly accelerated rate during the final epoch of this world’s timeline.
A rock, a cassette tape, a piece of driftwood a car bumper, a heap of trash
all are equally fertile objects for a conception of the world.
All artefact is a tale of desire
in perpetual metamorphosis
in the museum of memory and misinterpretation.
