I recently submitted a proposal for the up and coming exhibition “Curious Pursuits” curated by Porter & Jenkinson.<\/p>\n

It was a little last minute and wasn’t too sure I had submitted in time, well this evening I heard I was successful with my “Things my cats kill” series. Excellent news, I’m really looking forward to it.<\/p>\n

My proposal included four framed quarter plates from the series, I now have to decide which ones to use, some have been sold so I might contact some clients and ask for a loan of the plates in their possession.<\/p>\n

From the Portico website:<\/p>\n

Art Historian collective Porter & Jenkinson aim to showcase the best contemporary art responding to the lost themes and ideas behind the dark, strange, curious and peculiar Victorian aesthetics.
\nTheir premier exhibition Curious Pursuits challenges the conservative image that is frequently associated with the Victorians. Often perceived as prudish and straight-laced, the Victorian\u2019s obsession with – to mention a few pursuits – erotica, theatrical spectacles, the sensational, murder stories and freak shows, has long been pushed to the corners of society\u2019s collective mind. Porter & Jenkinson aim to bring these forgotten ideas to the foreground and explore the responses and reactions in our contemporary society.
\nThe pieces forming the exhibition are what Porter & Jenkinson deem to be intriguing works that depict and celebrate all things curious.<\/em><\/p>\n
