The new project revolves around culture, taste and class. To get started on such a large and broad topic I watched the Greyson Perry TV series 'In the best possible taste' and went to his exhibition'The Vanity of Small Differences' in Temple Newsam House, a stately home. The exhibition showed the 6 tapestries Perry made that were informed by his exploration of class in the TV show. The tapestries were so intricately detailed with minutiae that you could actually get a lot of information about each class just from studying the tapestries. From the tapestries you don't get a sense that Greyson favours one over the other but more that he is mocking all of them and the whole system. The whole thing gave me a lot to think about in terms of Culture, Taste and Class and how they are all linked.
