Curated by Jo Guile and Nathalie Boobis Private View: Tuesday 22nd January 2013, 6.30 – 9.00pm. This exhibition is the culmination of a year-long Arts Council England funded project in which Anna FC Smith has been exploring Harry Hill’s TV Burp as a configuration of European Carnival (1300-1700). In this exhibition of watercolours, drawings and mixed folk media work, Smith has sought to define and spotlight components of TV Burp using a combination of ethnographic methods (drawing and watercolours) and selected folk media (papier-mâché sculptures, knitted works, thimbles and clay character pots). By creating these ethnographic studies and new folk artefacts, Smith invites us to re-examine the context in which we view TV Burp. Accompanying the exhibition there is a book of essays comparing the activities on the television programme, Harry Hill’s TV Burp, with the historic phenomena they relate to. annafcsmith.tumblr.com / www.annafcsmith.co.uk / www.burpologyshow.tumblr.com
