Pharmas Market

Exhibitions25th August, 2010

The Harley Gallery in Nottinghamshire presents an exhibition of work by Cleo Mussi. The exhibiton, entitled Pharma’s Market’, features a mosaic installation that is the culmination of a two-year research project exploring the contrasting imagery of historical and contemporary farming.

Cleo Mussi has an engaging story to tell, and her characters, from life-sized ‘robo-rabbits’ to ‘space scientists’ and ‘bucolic’ farmers, all jostle for their part in the plot. Her stories are derived from the real world of science and medicine, albeit reconstructed through the process of her own particular visual imagination.

 
Using recycled china to make her extraordinary figures, her surreal sense of humour is where she has made her mark. It’s as if the pieces of china she painstakingly chips at become fragments of DNA in her own genetic rearrangements of nature.
 
Cleo Mussi will be giving an Artist Talk on 25 September.
