Having provided five talks about Sedition over the past couple of weeks to school and university groups, as well as to general visitors, I’m now feeling well practiced in speaking about the exhibition – not to mention a little hoarse from shouting above the noise of the films. Tomorrow Rebecca Mellor is performing again in the gallery; she’s asked for a number of intriguing props – including tippex and a bow tie – so I look forward to what transpires. Today I replaced, for the second time, the handkerchief that forms part of her work in the exhibition. I suspect the cleaners innocently picked it up, thinking it to be rubbish - It’s not always easy to tell what is art and what’s not and many a valuable artwork has been lost to the skip (not here I might add, at least nothing more valuable than a hankie... )
We’re getting a lot of good feedback on the virtual tour of the exhibition – now on the website, so take a look!
