"...this exhibition aims to disrupt, break down and re-evaluate linear histories. In examining the remnants of time, an eternal present emerges, a collective cultural memory appears, and chronological time becomes replaced with a mnemic delineation of time."

Reading Corner: 'The Cultures of Collecting'

The Cultures of Collecting by John Elsner, Roger Cardinal

Very interesting anthology of essays concerning the cultures of collecting, a major inspiration for our show, in particular Mieke Bal's piece, 'Telling Objects; A Narrative Perspective on Collecting.' (link below)
