Mark Wilsher : Everyone is an curator

28 Aug-24 Oct 2015

Overview

This exhibition takes art from the homes of people in Colchester and puts it on display of the walls at The Minories. Over the last five months, Mark Wilsher and a team of volunteers have been visiting over a hundred and fifty households within two miles of the Minories Galleries. Over two thousand artworks have been documented, and from these a selection of forty have been borrowed from living room and bedroom walls to make up this exhibition. The exhibition is an anthropological investigation of the aesthetics of a locality, individual tastes and subjectivity filtered through the mechanisms of contemporary capitalism.
