Jake and Dinos Chapman – The Rape of Creativity <\/em><\/strong>took place at Modern Art Oxford between 12 April and 8 June 2003.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Rape of Creativity<\/em> introduced audiences to a number of works by the Chapman Brothers, many of which were shown for the first time in the UK. The catalogue of the exhibition included a leaflet titled JAKE AND DINOS CHAPMAN: INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE<\/em>, a five-page spread dripping with sarcasm and playing on the \u2018shock tactics\u2019 critical to the viewing condition of the brothers\u2019 work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health warning: The contents of this exhibition may cause shock, vomiting, confusion, panic, euphoria and anxiety. If you suffer from high blood pressure, a nervous disorder or palpitations you should consult your doctor before viewing this exhibition.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Born in Cheltenham in the 1960\u2019s and graduating from the Royal Academy in 1990, Jake and Dinos Chapman formed a collaborative group that would revisit themes of \u2018cultural authenticity\u2019 throughout their career by blurring the boundaries of insult and self-conscious repatriation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This theme was bared across the inner walls of the Piper Gallery, featuring a series of 83 etchings hand-coloured by the artists and produced by purchasing and subsequently re-working original plates from Francesco Goya\u2019s Disasters of War <\/em>series printed in 1937. The artists have frequently referenced the work of Goya referring to him as their \u2018mentor\u2019, but in Insult to Injury<\/em> (2003), the use of the artist\u2019s original prints took this \u2018reference\u2019 one step further. Begging the question; ‘Can this reworking be classified as an act of vandalism or preservation?”, the ‘etchings’ featured the generous addition of ghoulish masks, grinning cartoons, gas masks and swastika symbols over the faces of Goya\u2019s subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Situated alongside this series of etchings, a number of colourful drawings showcased the brothers\u2019 meticulous draughtmanship, one of the ways in which the duo open up a dialogue with art history. These crumpled sheets of paper made up of seemingly \u2018unrelated\u2019 signs of commodity culture, political markers, and fairy tale caricatures came to life in the form of an installation in the Upper Gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The main spectacle of the exhibition, from which the title of the exhibition took its name, The Rape of Creativity<\/em>, slowly revealed the darker side of the Chapman Brothers’ humour as visitors peered into the inside of a metal caravan through the van\u2019s lace curtains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Upper Gallery, transformed into a landscape of detritus, pornographic material, discarded waste, an overhead McDonald\u2019s sign, where objects of familiar origin were stripped of their initial context and somehow transformed, like the image of a dog with a sheep\u2019s head biting on a bloody hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
