About Ex Ungue Leonem
Ex Ungue Leonem is the final element of Jordan Essoe's Semaphores exhibition, featuring contributions from over 90 critical thinkers, who were invited to answer the following question with a single image:
If international economic democracy is an alternative to corporate globalization, what does it look like?
Contributors to this project specialize in a wide spectrum of disciplines. Philosophers, activists, novelists, economists, anthropologists, astronomers, historians, ecologists, artists, architects, journalists, and many other specialists and critical thinkers have collaboratively constructed this network, which was inspired by the secret society of thinkers described in Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges's short story Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius. The resulting collection of images is installed in the gallery in rows of elongated dashes to render the Morse Code message for "receiving." With reference to the economics "rule of 72," 72 images are presented at a time.
CONTRIBUTORS include philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah, poet Bill Berkson, author Morris Berman, anthropologist Jean Comaroff, rhetorician Pheng Cheah, mathematician Keith Devlin, author Ariel Dorfman, artist Ken Friedman, economist Michael Greenstone, author Derrick Jensen, anthropologist Richard Ling, anthropologist Laura Rival, ecologist David Wilcove, and many others. Complete list follows:
