‘Re: New Wallace Collection #8: From Collecting to Colonialism’ presents a new body of work created by multi-disciplinary artist Robert Peters in response to the Wallace Collection. The exhibition frames the collection within the legacy of British Colonialism, and looks at contemporary colonisation of culture and decolonisation strategies within cultural organisations. The diverse artworks include 3D printed sculptures, reimagined miniatures, a series of ‘fAIk’ paintings, and an animation incorporating scanned sculptures from British museums and collections.
