As part of Artangel’s ‘Come as you really are’ exhibition I'm delighted to be collaborating with Barnsley Civic, to display 155 vintage games from the 1940s up to the 1990s - fairly horrified to have included the 90s but here we are! The exhibition opens on the 24th May and runs until 8th August 2025. It is part of a UK wide project led by Hetain Patel and Artangel working with 13 partner organisations including Barnsley Civic. In addition to Patel's artworks such as Somerset Road (2024), a Ford Escort rugtufted in the pattern of the artist’s grandmother’s living room carpet, and Fiesta Transformer (2013); the exhibition will also showcase a wide variety of local people's hobbies, things they have made, crafted, collected, modified - presenting an alternative portrait of the UK.
