Chisenhale Gallery
London E3 5QZ
A new commission by Bangkok based artist Pratchaya Phinthong for his first solo exhibition in the UK, developed from his ongoing research in Africa. Broken Hill explores the status of the replica ‘Kabwe Skull’ in the collection of the Lusaka National Museum, Zambia, the displacement of the original to the British Museum in London, and how historical narratives are performed through memory and objects.
