Thanks for your suggestions.
It ...Thanks vena-trix<br />Thanks for your suggestions.<br /><br />It is interesting you mention historical ideas of the supernatural. I guess you are making the a reference to mythology(?)<br /><br />Through this exhibition development process we are thinking about the evolution of evil, from those strong spiritual and mythological references to the secular human connections today.<br /><br />It will be interesting to see where new age ideas and practices have come from and their significance in our world today.<br /><br />The notion of corporate evil is popping up a bit in workshops and facebook too so we'll definitely be exploring that idea further. It's tricky to think about how it may be illustrated in a museum display..<br /><br />Any ideas?Bliss Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13245847355252769286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1174159676914522381.post-80753145232225355522009-04-02T10:19:00.000-07:002009-04-02T10:19:00.000-07:00Evil and negative consequence are not the same.Evil and negative consequence are not the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1174159676914522381.post-150757417634421372009-03-31T04:57:00.000-07:002009-03-31T04:57:00.000-07:00I think evil is very firmly rooted in historical i...I think evil is very firmly rooted in historical ideas of the supernatural. Science has demystified a lot of things that were historically ascribed to evil or malevolent forces. Evil is not a word used very often these days but I think the idea still has currency. In fact it seems to be a good way to connect the present with the past.<BR/><BR/>Maybe Feng Shui is a current manifestation of protection from evil? And possibly some new age ideas and practices?<BR/><BR/>Also comics are a very relevant expression of ideas of good and evil in the form of villains and heros.<BR/><BR/>I think corporations are more and more being seen as having evil methods and practises (maybe Wall-E as an example of the potential of corporatisation to ruin the world) and also governments eg in Africa - Mugabe.<BR/><BR/>Satan has a recurring role in South Park, and Homer Simpson has occasional Angel/Devil internal monologues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
