IDLES singer Joe Talbot and his father Nigel have launched a new art exhibition exploring themes of memory and family at Newport Museum and Art Gallery in South Wales.
The exhibition, titled 'Mausoleum – Remembrance of Remembering', opened on May 23 and will run until September 12. It is free to enter and features sculptures made from salvaged and recycled materials. The works examine memory through the metaphor of the vessel. They focus on a father-and-son relationship and question whose stories are remembered or hidden. A description of the show states that the pieces reveal memory as fragile and subjective, shaped across generations. Some works serve as containers for imagined histories. The museum is open Tuesday to Saturday. More details are available on the venue's website.
