Currently at the Millinery Works in Islington, London:
"An EXHIBITION TO ACCOMPANY THE LAUNCH OF THE BOOK WRITTEN BY DAVID USBORNE
There is no object in this exhibition that does not perform a useful task.
Why is it then that these unassuming practical tools, when displayed in a
gallery, suddenly strike us as worthy of the attention and respect that we
normally accord to works of art?"
For those who like to experience material culture OUT OF context, but also
perhaps for those who like to theorise on the intrinsic meaning of everyday
objects?
