People On Show and other exhibits (museum dr.Guislain)

Rating:	★★★★★
Category:	Other

People on show is pretty obviously about people on show but more specifically about other cultures as entertainment.
It's a visually interesting exhibit with loads of old posters from shows with "cannibals" and "amazons" and other exciting "savages".
It also raises a question we should all consider, especially in this age of "reality-tv": where does interest in watching other people and cultures become degrading for those people or cultures?

Also exhibiting in the museum is Goran Djurovic, a Serbian artist with fascinating paintings. His world is filled with a certain darkness, people pulling strings and awkward situations.

Another exhibit is Burland/Toyland. The Swiss artist François Burland recycles everyday waste materials into great objects! His world is full of funny and beautiful vehicles like submarines and planes.

All exhibits un till 13-9-2009. More info: http://www.museumdrguislain.be/
