Polly Morgan show in Italy, by Coach on May 19, 2011 21:40:12 GMT 1, Polly Morgan has a show called "Burials" opening 3rd June, at
Workshop arte contemporanea
Dorsoduro 2793 / A
30123 Venice
From the email:
"Workshop Arte Contemporanea is pleased to announce the opening of โBurialsโ, the first solo exhibition by the London-based artist, Polly Morgan, in Italy. Described by Charlotte Philby in The Independent as โBritartโs hottest propertyโ, Polly Morgan is at the very forefront of modern taxidermy. She has contributed to a shift in public perception that has taken โthe art of preparing, stuffing and mounting the skins of animals with lifelike effectโ to places never dreamed of by its original Victorian practitioners.
The vitrines are still there but little else remains. Birds are taken out of their natural habitat and are reassembled, often in mass, creating sculptures of astonishing and often disquieting beauty.
Workshop Arte Contemporanea would like to thank The British Council and Bisol Desiderio & Figli for their support of this exhibition"
Would be great if Italian forum members would share some pics, if they are going.
I hope its a great sucess for Ms Morgan.
