Abstract
ABSTRACTTaking as an exemplar a work by artist duo, Cornford & Cross, commissioned by Meadow Arts for the newly refurbished Commandery Museum in Worcester, the article examines questions raised by such ‘intervention’ works in the context of site responsive history, national consciousness and Anglo Irish History. It explores questions of historical reputation, cultural memory, cultural trauma and historiography. It makes a case to distinguish such critical interventions by artists from the tropes and mechanisms used in heritage display and museology. It proposes shifting the often- perceived gulf between art-practice and the writing of academic history in favour of a more complex notion of ‘historiographical practice.’
