Context (Display)
Exhibited amongst existing MAA displays, linking contemporary life with ethnographic collections. Displayed in the Moche pot case, (4.1) in the Andrews Gallery, 14 February 2022- 20 March 2023.

British artist Tony Phillips was the first of three artists in residence at MAA as part of the project TAKING CARE - Ethnographic and World Cultures Museums as Spaces of Care. Each artist will engage with MAA and the Museum's collections through a series of visits, leading to interventions and exhibitions which will feature in the Museum's galleries over a period of approximately a year in each case.

Tony Phillips has long been fascinated by museum displays, which are full of artefacts associated with myth, power and ritual. Many of these artefacts are sacred. Through drawings, prints and interventions around the Museum's galleries, he brings together historic treasures with consumer culture and objects such as smartphones, asking about the connections between collections and contemporary life.
