The Museum Effect brings together the work of a number of artists who draw on museum practice or collecting in making art.
Finely curated by Meryl Ryan, the selected works combine to present the viewer with sense of experiencing the ‘museum’ from the inside. Spaces designated for collection storage come alive; specimens collected over many years given a new life; and museum display methods appropriated for use in varying contexts – each component of the exhibition fascinating and exquisite in its own right.
