As inherently dark places, basements present a particularly fertile ground for exploring and rever…
Drawing into being: The trap as a diagram for ecological exchange between art and anthropology
This article aims to further Alfred Gell's assertion ('Vogel's net: Traps as artworks and artworks as traps', Journal of Material Culture, 1996) that traps be considered as functional artworks and vice versa, and builds on this foundation for an even bolder approach to practical exchange between art and anthropology.

With a starting po…
