| Abstract: | About the Heads is a response to the collection of stone heads which have been stored in the Undercroft to Queen Anne’s Court at the Old Royal Naval College since the turn of the 18th century. The mysterious heads, depicting Neptune and other denizens of the deep, were carved by Robert Jones of Stepney in the early 1700s and were originally intended for display upon the south elevation of the Painted Hall. A decision to use brick instead of stone meant the heads were abandoned, and for 300 years have languished out of sight. The About the Heads exhibition took place at the University of Greenwich’ Heritage Gallery from 18th April to 24th May 2019. Three artists from separate disciplines - sculpture, painting and literature - created responses to the stone heads' historic and continuing internment. The exhibition was curated by David Waterworth & Camilla Wilson and the gallery assistant was Sigrid Neptun. |
