Harry Palmer: Darknosis scientific think-tank laboratory investigations at the PhD show. – Birmingham: It’s Not Shit – Eccentric Archoeligist Harry Palmer is spending a week inside a cage at The Edge on Cheapside as part of his Darknosis project in the PhD exhibition.  He’ll be writing a daily diary of the experience on BiNS:

…the PhD show’s mythological think-tank investigation, conducted by Harry Palmer, seeks to discover the relationship between the banana plantation and lost civilisation concerning the Hawaiian Mauna Loa tribesmen and women. Mythological hoaxes have been reported suggesting that banana worship and ecological disaster were aligned to the Indian rope trick in which the Darknosis Scientific team sought to define and clarify on their 1917 expedition to this Pacific Ocean Island.

I went to the opening of the exhibition and it was bizarre, great fun and strange.  Harry and his colleagues sorted bananas within the cage whilst waitresses mixed with audience, handing out crisps and trying to bag a husband.   A little tip – if you offer the workers inside the cage a little something, you might just get a banana in return.

The PhD show is on at The Edge until 25th Sept.
