This Friday 5th February, the Museum of Small Things opens in Selfridges' Ultralounge, promising a magical world of magnificent optical illusions, artifcial facades and hidden doors, to test our ways of seeing.
MurmurART's Claudia Djabbari will be showing new artwork in this exhibition, alongside other upcoming and respected artists including Grayson Perry, James Braithwaite, Shaun Leane and Richard Wentworth. Encouraging us to look beyond the contemporary obsession with the gigantic, and to take value from the maxim that 'small is beautiful', this show invites visitors to 'open wide their eyes, look, and then look again at the world they inhabit and to realise the power of small things when they are properly seen.'
With exhibits ranging across images, objects, moving pictures, detritus and treasures, the variety on display in this museum will dynamically demonstrate how the lines between all forms of visual expression have become blurred. Must-sees include a quivering jelly slogan from Bob & Roberta Smith as well as the first showing of Oscar nominated animation 'I met the Walrus'. Grayson Perry has designed two handbags for the MOST pop up shop.
The Museum of Small Things, in association with POCKO and Kit Grover, is in Selfridges Ultralounge from 5th February until the 7th March. For more information see their website, or click here for a sneak preview of the event.
