A Pollock's Gallimaufry @apgallimaufry closed on Saturday. It was wonderful working with #PollocksToyMuseum to realise this exhibition of 14 contemporary artists' responses to its collection and archive. Thanks for having us!

It's been a pleasure and an adventure @apgallimaufry! Heading to #PollocksToyMuseum 1 Scala Street London W1T 2HL today for one final admiring look at all 14 artists' responses to the collection!

Hard to believe it was over two years ago that @Caroline_in_E8 & @NicolePolonsky first proposed an exhibition to #PollocksToyMuseum of artists’ responses to its collection and archive. Many conversations later A Pollock’s Gallimaufry @apgallimaufry finally landed. Ends 5pm today!

#EleanorRogers doesn't 'just' make unsettling singing-doll vids! Her designs for yet-to-be-realised toy theatre production of folktale The Glass Mountain, shown to great effect in #PollocksToyMuseum’s newest display case, also feature in A Pollock's Gallimaufry @apgallimaufry!

Two weeks ago to the day we were installing works for A Pollock's Gallimaufry @apgallimaufry – 14 artists' responses to #PollocksToyMuseum's collection and archive. Discerning hang team fortified by chocolate-and-olive-oil cake. Exhibition (not cake) continues until 7 December!

We had feedback that some visitors wanted help wayfinding around our exhibition, A Pollock's Gallimaufry, @apgallimaufry at #PollocksToyMuseum. We've now produced cute labels to guide people to our displays and interventions. Discover #EmilyFairlieBaker's 'Jealousy', w sticker!

Hanging my three 'Muted' prints at @ELPstudio's #FestivalofPrint. With these mutes (devices that damp down sound of musical instruments) – screenprinted with bleach to remove colour from paper, not add to it – I strove for an analogy between visual and auditory effects.
