Dirt explores humans complex relationship with dirt, through a variety of medium: ceramics, illustrations, 19th and 20th Century posters and ad campaigns, artist installations, photography and video. I found the illustrated posters of ways in which to beat cholera particularly amusing and the photographs of Staten Island extremely disturbing.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a href="http://i.thisislondon.co.uk/i/pix/2011/03/VenetianCholera415.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 415px; height: 275px;" src="http://i.thisislondon.co.uk/i/pix/2011/03/VenetianCholera415.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 13px; "><h1 id="Template_ctl08_ctl00_assetTitle" style="margin-top: -2px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.3em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-weight: bold; font-style: inherit; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 1.4em; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">A young Venetian woman, aged 23, depicted before and after contracting cholera </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Coloured stipple engraving, c.1831.
