WESTERN SUPER MARE, UK: BANKSY’S DISMALAND ~ MIGRANTS ON A BOAT

Published on by jacquelinemhadelLeave a comment

Banksy’s “Immigrants on a Boat”. This traditional seaside slot machine game allows visitors to steer boats across a pool, but with a difference. Numerous boats are packed with migrant workers, but one is a gunboat patrolling below the white cliffs of Dover while the attendant shouts out, “I see no borders, I see no race”. It comes as a shock to visitors to realise the water is littered with dead migrants or to discover they are steering the gunboat. The feeling that these people are human and deserve better is heightened by the intricate and individual detail in each migrant’s face, clothing and posture.

WESTERN SUPER MARE, UK: BANKSY’S DISMALAND ~THE AFTERMATH DISLOCATION PRINCIPLE by JAMES CAUTY

Published on by jacquelinemhadel1 Comment

“…a large scale model installation by British artist James Cauty entitled ‘the aftermath dislocation principle part I’ featuring a miniature post-apocalyptic world, burned, looted and devoid of all human life apart from a swell of police make up. The construction is a vast 1:87 scale model detailing the desolate, charred aftermath of what appears to have been a crazed riot in London. The only visible people are the 5,000 or so policemen at the scene armed with vans and weapons ready to control and quell. The whole scene is set into motion for the show as ambulance and street lights strobe in the darkness…”
