This item is one of the more disturbing objects in Henry Wellcome’s collection. A ‘Scold’s bridle’ is a fearsome looking mask which fits tightly on to the head. A scold was defined as a “rude, clamorous woman”. The bridle was used as a punishment for women considered to be spending too much time gossiping or quarrelling. Time spent in the bridle was normally allocated as a punishment by a local magistrate. The custom developed in Britain in the 1500s, and spread to some other European countries, including Germany. When wearing the mask it was impossible to speak. This example has a bell on top to draw even more attention to the wearer, increasing their humiliation. It was used until the early 1800s as a punishment in workhouses.

Deze waanzinnige installatie trof ik op Conan the Librarian, die het weer had van Wary Meyers:
The latest of our installations for the the old Baxter Library in Portland, newly occupied by the Via Advertising Agency. This one’s in the basement, referencing the old library, history, roots, poltergeists…

We’ve set out to combine the amazing talents of improvisational dancer Anne Marsen (and a supporting cast of contemporary dancers) with the epic new Girl Talk album, All Day, creating an album-length music video of grand proportions. We’ll continue shooting in the spring of 2011, then plan to screen the piece, in full, in public, as well as make it fully available for free online.

Hieronder een mooie verbeelding van hoe de Superbowl eruit zou zien wanneer zij geregisseerd zou worden door bewezen topregisseurs. Persoonlijk vind ik de ‘bewerking’ door Werner Herzog er bovenuit steken.
What would it look like if our great directors took creative control over the Super Bowl broadcast? Slate imagines it, showing you how Quentin Tarantino, David Lynch, Wes Anderson, Werner Herzog and Jean-Luc Godard would put their cinematic stamp on the broadcast. The clip gets better as it moves along…”
