Sir John Soane’s Museum has announced a major new exhibition by Gavin Turk, which will see the celebrated British artist transform one of London’s most extraordinary historic houses through a series of new commissions and interventions. At Sir John Soane’s Museum, that fascination finds a natural setting, where the artist responds not only to the collection but also to the overlooked traces left behind by generations of people who have lived and worked within the building. By reframing waste as something precious, the work echoes Sir John Soane’s own curious time capsule, hidden in his bathtub and containing objects including false teeth, broken glass and old receipts. Upstairs, objects selected from the Building Archive will be displayed in an exhibition co-curated by Turk and Helen Dorey, Deputy Director and Inspectress of Sir John Soane’s Museum.
