Selfridges is undoubtedly one of London’s biggest architectural landmarks that houses one of the largest retail collections in the UK by some of the biggest design names in the world and yet from the 5th of February to the 7th of March the mega store is paying tribute to all things small. The Museum of Small Things is a collaboration between artist and designer Kit Grover and POCKO that aims to celebrate all things tiny, delicate and, well, cute?
Grover says that the interpretation of small was left up to the artists. He says small “can mean something minuscule or something that’s generally ignored or thought of as insignificant.” The exhibit is arranged in the form of a labyrinth, with a rotating eight-foot head created by the Japanese artist Kin Pro at the center. “Kind of like a Macy’s float, but not from this planet,” Grover says. “We wanted to play with scale. You can’t see all of it as you approach it, so you feel like you’re being peered in on by someone very large — and you’re miniature.”
A bag designed by Grayson Perry is on show at the exhibition. CL has attached an image of this work. Other artists include Richard Wentworth who has entered a dictionary (“of small, of course”) and animations James Braithwaite.
Products by Grayson Perry are also available on CL. Check out this scarf he designed for Tate.
