Description
Hew Locke What Have We Here? is a remarkable book that presents a precious album of ideas, insights, and specially chosen images of objects with a multitude of stories to tell. The artist's interest in dissecting the complex ways in which museums are implicated in histories of empire is at the heart of this project. Locke's fascination with objects and the stories they tell is deeply personal, drawing on his own experiences and connections to the British Museum's collections. This book is a personal exploration of the subject, weaving together his own works with a consideration of Britain's historic interactions with Africa, India, and the Caribbean from around 1600 onwards. Through interventionist techniques, Locke aims to reframe the collection's historical objects, leaving readers with more questions than answers.
