London's Barbican Centre has announced that its latest exhibition - "Exhibit B" - has been cancelled because of the "extreme nature" of protests against its subject: actors of African descent chained and half-naked, in cages.
The performance, which was due to run until 27 September, draws on the "human zoos" and ethnographic displays of the late 19th and early 20th centuries – a period of time where African people were seen as less than human by Europeans, who had pseudoscientific theories of race that justified white supremacy. The artist, South African Brett Bailey, has described it as “a human installation on imperialism in Africa and racism” which aimed to explore the exploitation of the continent's resources, like ivory, rubber and timber. Visitors would have entered the show one-by-one, and watched the actors - labelled "the exhibits" – standing rigid in cages, with specific instructions to maintain eye contact with each person as they looked on. “Who are they protecting?” David gilliver.

This week we take a look at his project Street Children Of Bombay. 100,000 Children — 1 Year — 1 City Are there any projects in particular you have loved / hated working on recently? I have recently done some work in India to cover the Kumbh Mela festival in Allahabad and Holi, the festival of colours, in and around Vrindavan. Although I have spent a lot of time in India nothing can prepare you for these two events. The Kumbh Mela in particular was incredible, and unless you were there is impossible to comprehend how big the event was. The Holi festival is something that everybody should witness once in their life. Next week we take a look at his project Holi – India's Festival of Colour What I love the most is diversity. What do you find inspiring? Foucault's Pendulum.
This article is about the novel by Italian philosopher Umberto Eco.
For the physics experiment and implement, see Foucault pendulum. Foucault's Pendulum (original title: Il pendolo di Foucault) is a novel by Italian writer and philosopher Umberto Eco. It was first published in 1988, and an English translation by William Weaver appeared a year later. Foucault's Pendulum is divided into ten segments represented by the ten Sefiroth. The novel is full of esoteric references to Kabbalah, alchemy and conspiracy theory — so many that critic and novelist Anthony Burgess suggested that it needed an index.[1] The pendulum of the title refers to an actual pendulum designed by the French physicist Léon Foucault to demonstrate the rotation of the earth, and has symbolic significance within the novel.
