Why Steal a Painting?

This performative project involved recreating objects from London museums through 3D scanning and curating them in Regents Park - Bringing the museum to the public. The exhibition is designed to be portable and mountable onto any tree, and every exhibit is attached to the utilitarian frame.

The objects are a prehistoric tooth from the natural history museum, a fragment of Christopher columbus’ armour and a Russian futurist poem. They were chosen for their possible interrelated symbolisms. despite their differences they are all provocative pieces that make us critically look at history.

The method of curation is different for each exhibit. The frame curates any form, while the tooth and armour fragment exhibit themselves since they are not confined to the boundary of a square.
