Maria Taniguchi’s work, Untitled (crystal palace + gauguin) is composed of a slideshow of images taken at the Crystal Palace Dinosaur Court in London combined with a dialogue that describes an unnamed painting (which we know to be Gauguin’s Where do we come from?

Becoming Alluvium by artist Thao Nguyen Phan (Vietnam) builds on her ongoing research into the Mekong River and the artists observations regarding the environmental changes surrounding it due to the expansion of agriculture, overfishing and the economic migration of farmers to urban areas, the work puts particular emphasis on the impact of environmental change and the impact on human lives.
Luay Fadhil’s Scribe is one of the featured works in MCAD’s exhibition titled Constructions of Truths. The work portrays the narrative of a grieving man and his interactions with a scribe which is predominant in the culture of Iraq.
Unique among the works included in the exhibition Constructions of Truths, MCAD’s current show is La Venganza del Elefante (The revenge of the elephant) (2007) by Mexican artist Minerva Cuevas. The work is a slide presentation using vintage (ca. 1897) illustrations by Wilhelm Busch, a 19th-century German artist regarded as one of the founders of modern-day comics. A common theme for Busch’s stories was ‘bad behaving animals,‘ with his drawings accompanied by a descriptive text.
