POISON: Curious Matter (Electronic book text)

POISON at Curious Matter. Poison has captured the imagination for millennia. It appears in folk tales, fairy tales, opera and murder mysteries. Poisoning has been the clean, classic way evil characters subdue and eliminate a rival without the use of brute force. But poison is not just a substance used to remove inconvenient competition. It is more than our romantic notions of hemlock and horror, and the artists of Curious Matter's POISON exhibition have sensitively distilled the tincture to find its purest forms.
