MODEL TRANSLATIONS Date: 27 November 2011 - 30 April 2012 | Time: 9am - 6pm Monday to Friday and 11am - 5pm Saturday | Location: Octagon Gallery | Price: Free | Age group: Any | The first ever exhibition in the Octagon Gallery is Model Translations. This exhibition showcases objects – some never displayed before – from the art, anthropology, archaeology, engineering, pathology and zoology collections. These objects reveal creative encounters and explorations between scholars and the natural and made environment, but at times materialise world views that are problematic and difficult to reconcile today. Five of UCL's Mellon Fellows – Antony Hudek, Sarah Byrne, Federica Mazzara, Richard Mole and Claire Thomson – have chosen a selection of objects that speak to, and translate, different aspects of their own research. This exhibition is supported by the Andrew W Mellon Foundation of New York.
