About the Heads - Exhibition

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 exhibition was curated by David Waterworth & Camilla Wilson and the gallery assistant was Sigrid Neptun.

This item contains works created for the About the Heads exhibition, which 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.
