EXHIBITION
Our summer exhibition The Universal Addressability of Dumb Things, is curated by Turner Prize winning artist Mark Leckey. You will see historical and contemporary works of art side by side, with videos, machines, archaeological artefacts and iconic objects- all of which will inhabit an“ enchanted landscape” where objects seem to be communicating with each other and with us. Don ' t miss the giant inflatable cartoon figure of Felix the Cat and a Doctor Who Cyberman ' s helmet!
