The Rotunda Room of the National Museum of Cardiff is full of works by the sculptor Goscombe John, who was a big supporter of the museum and who donated a lot of his works to Amgueddfa Cymru. The British New Sculptor Movement, which Goscombe John was a leader of was really interested in naturalistic representations of the human body, which is quite clear to see in his work. The new (Un)Seen (Un)Heard exhibition seeks to close the gap between expressive art objects and the silent exhibition furniture they rest upon, with this new display, these plinth covers speak to the stories of the people who rest on them and ask the questions that the placards can’t hold.
