As part of the 15th Jakarta Biennale - Siasat - we curated the performance and installation piece For a Minor Ornithology at the Pasar Burumg Pramuka in Jakarta, Indonesia. Accompanying the performances are a series of diagrams designed with Jono Sturt of HTCHBCK (below), and an essay written with curator Anna-Sophie Springer. The essay, "Some Notes For a Minor Ornithology," considers the remarkable role of avifauna in the history of European scientific experiments, public museum displays, and taxidermy practices.
