Exhibition Details
Are you Sitting Comfortably?:the Water Closet Workshop
Sat 05 Apr 03 - Sun 20 Jul 03
In this exhibition household objects changed into the unexpected. The humble domestic WC is something we almost ignore because of its intimate familiarity, yet in this exhibition it was transformed by fourteen international artists from its everyday functional role into an art form! The ceramists, sculptors and painters worked on the factory floor to produce this stunning and thought provoking array of subverted or modified versions of mundane sanity ware. Was on tour from The Hatton Gallery.
