There was simply work, eat and sleep, until you died. Now we have boredom, probably the most dangerous emotion of all. Boredom affects everyone, humming away in the background and causing occasional social unrest. In a one-off event in collaboration with The Leeds Library, Michael Jenkins curates a diverse range of responses to why we put up with monotony. <p> <br> <a href="boredomtext1.pdf"><img src="boredomtext1thumb.jpg"></a> <a href="boredomtext2.pdf"><img src="boredomtext2thumb.jpg"></a> <p> <a href="boredomflyerfront.pdf"><img src="boredomflyerfrontthumb.jpg"></a> <a href="boredomflyerback.pdf"><img src="boredomflyerbackthumb.jpg"></a> <p> <a href="boredompills.jpg"><img src="boredompillsthumb.jpg"></a> <p> <a href="greycases.jpg"><img src="greycasesthumb.jpg"></a> <a href="greycases2.jpg"><img src="greycases2thumb.jpg"></a> <a href="greylistening.jpg"><img src="greylisteningthumb.jpg"></a> <p> <a href="greywideshot.jpg"><img src="greywideshotthumb.jpg"></a> <a href="greynoconversation.jpg"><img src="greynoconversationthumb.jpg"></a> <a href="greylistening2.jpg"><img src="greylistening2thumb.jpg"></a> <p> <br> <b>Links to screens used in exhibition</B> <br> <p><a href="grey1.html"><img src="boredomscreen1.jpg"></a> Screen 1 <p><a href="grey2.html"><img src="boredomscreen2.jpg"></a> Screen 2 </td></tr> </table> <p> <p> <TABLE WIDTH=20% BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=5 CELLPADDING=5 ALIGN=CENTER> <TR align=center> <td><align=center> <A HREF="index.html"><b>BACK</a> </td> </TR> </table> </BODY> </HTML>
