Description

Mary Anne Barkhouse: The Reins of Chaos is a small exhibition catalogue by Mary Anne Barkhouse of her 2008 exhibition that explored the story of the four horses of the apocalypse. This Kwakwaka'wakw artist uses rocking horses and the coin-operated children's rides once popular in the 1960s to challenge the viewer's understanding of Indigenous Peoples critique contemporary culture. The unique aspect of the installation is that gallery attendees were able to insert coins into the mechanical horses for a ride and the fees were donated to a local donkey sanctuary. The essay, The Golden Ass, is written by Emily Falvey.
