Bruce Barber: The Bertrand Russell Reading Room
McMaster Museum, Ontario, Canada
13 September —
22 December 2018
Bertrand Russell spent six months in Brixton Prison in 1918 for prejudicing “His Majesty’s relationship with the U.S.A”, where he wrote his Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy. 2018 coincidentally marks the centenary of the end of the First World War that will be probably reduced to jingoistic celebrations of militarism that would have been abhorred by the philosopher who spent much of his life protesting war. - Bruce Barber
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Bertrand Russell archives at McMaster University, the Museum of Art invited Nova Scotia College of Art and Design University professor Bruce Barber to develop an artist project. Barber’s project launches at the Museum in September with a special event and an exhibition – complete with recreated version of Russell’s cell in Brixton Prison – highlighting the life, work, and continued relevance of the renowned British philosopher and mathematician.
