Title
Arcanum museum project
Date
1997
Place
Experimental Art Foundation, Adelaide, SA
Description

The exhibition was a continuation of a project that Cruickshank has been engaged in from the 'Arcanum Museum’. Previously the work focused on photographs from colonial white Australia, and on which, through the use of computer technology, faces from other (excluded) peoples have been seamlessly insinuated into the frame: suggesting another potential history. This work reversed and expanded the substitutions, whereby Victorian and Edwardian photographs of black people – posed, designed and photographed by white people – were used as the base for the work.
