A NEW collection of ceramics produced by an influential artist is set to be displayed in a museum later this week. Hove Museum and Art Gallery will reopen on July 26 with a show from the grand wizard of studio ceramics Richard Slee. The exhibition will consist of a series of objects and installations inspired by Mass Observations (MO) 1937 Mantelpiece Reports, which was social research initiated by the University of Sussex in the 1930s. The first initiative, the Mantelpiece Directive, invited its national panel of volunteers to share what was on their mantelpieces, leading to conclusions that ordinary objects are full of meaning to their owners.
