fact/fiction pre-proposal

Jatinder, Marianna and I are looking at an exploration between fact and fiction, anthropology, art science and narrative. At the moment we are looking into staging an exhibition and website proposing a historical or pseudo-scientific/anthropological or current 'find' of a society that we know nothing of.

We are going to incorporate our individual interests to create the work.
jatinder - anthropology
marianna - fiction narrative
terri - science/ factual

we are thinking about a mixed media installation; drawings, photographs, video, faked artifacts - medical reports etc.

We are not currently sure just exactly where we see the exhibition being seen ... the british museum or Wellcome institute seem a long way off (!!) so were are thinking possibly a pop up installation in SOAS or LSE anthropology depts? thoughts or suggestions...?

    and whats his face, the pseudo animal research group guy, Paul Tebbs wrote an essay about it in Source magazine.

    yep yep. The institute of critical zoologists. That's probably going to be an important ref.
