Hobby Cave Exhibition with Hetain Patel and Artangel
Come As You Really Are is an exhibition by Hetain Patel and unites thousands of objects created, modified and collected by hobbyists across the UK.
At the heart of this project is a nationwide community of people whose labours of love are a lens through which the artist is creating an alternative portrait of the UK.
The exhibition has been receiving some wonderful press coverage
