A practice-led, interdisciplinary exploration of the role and function of Roman wall painting, in relation to objects and practices of the household, with particular emphasis on the relevance of this for contemporary site-specific fine art practice. Intersecting contemporary exhibitions and archaeological sites will also allow for the development of innovative ways of displaying archaeological artefacts on site. The collaborators would bring relevant expertise, experiences and a range of cross-disciplinary research methods to the project. The culmination of the project would be 1. A juxtaposition of two site-specific installations at Herculaneum and Pompeii: one exploring the relationship between Roman objects / practices and Roman wall painting, the other developing a contemporary equivalent situated within an antique Roman house. 2. An exhibition in a gallery/museum in Britain that juxtaposes a contemporary wall painting with archaeological artefacts. 3. A publication that documents the research findings and exhibitions. 4. The research would also be disseminated via conferences and symposiums.
