Recent Daniels Faculty alumnus Novka Cosovic had an article published in On Site Review magazine's latest issue, Ethics and Publics. In the article, Cosovic writes at length about her thesis project, The Museum, which was featured in the Daniels Faculty Spotlight on Students series this past April.

Cosovic's thesis project explored how acts of war and violence are represented in the media, and how public, institutional spaces are used for brutal acts during conflicts. Prisoners of war have been held in school gymnasiums; dead bodies have been piled high in swimming pools; bathrooms have been turned into slaughter houses. And, according to Cosovic, these acts of violence and trauma captured in the media have one common denominator: their backgrounds. The backgrounds in each setting include tiles, wallpaper, curtains, the architecture of our everyday lives.

In the article, Cosovic writes:

The Museum describes these conditions of warfare in communal backgrounds by using transitional spaces and television screens in Union Station’s pedestrian pathways, representing those same background details to the point where these fragments begin to prick our memories of news clips and memories of our daily settings. At first, in this subtle museum, people would unknowingly pass through the pedestrian tunnels, unlikely to make a connection between the images and patterns that line the floors and walls and the acts of violence they are associated with. Over time, however, the installations begin to connect to the many news clips, photos and video loops of war on television screens in the tunnels.

On Site Review, a Calgary-based magazine, is a "bi-annual print publication on architecture, urbanism, landscape, material culture and infrastructure" and can be found at many independent bookstores as well as certain Chapters and Indigo locations and the University of Toronto Bookstore.
