Recollection
- 15 March — 19 April 2014
This exhibition focuses on contemporary artists whose work deals with memory. Featuring a variety of art forms and responses to memory and memory loss.
Amongst the exhibits Recollection sees the return to THG of two of Jenni Dutton’s astounding large scale ‘Dementia Darnings’ alongside artworks including the memory tubes of Jo Saurin and the Sophie Bower’s ‘Stories of Memory’ which form part of her ongoing investigation into what triggers involuntary memory.
Upstairs at THG throughout this exhibition there will be a display of works donated on the theme of ‘recollection’ to raise funds for the Honiton Memory Cafe and Honiton Hospital League of Friends. Two voluntary organisations working together to increase awareness and understanding of dementia.
