Riddle: when is a shop not a shop?

Answer: when it’s a Pop-up Museum.

Yeovil no longer has a museum, so let’s create our own. For Somerset Art Weeks, audio-visual artist-musicians Hacker Farm will be occupying an empty retail-outlet in Yeovil’s Quedam pedestrian precinct to create a transient art-space that’s part installation, part gallery, part museum.

Working in partnership with Community Heritage Access Centre, Hacker Farm will cherry-pick their favourite, half-forgotten moments from Yeovil’s cultural past, juxtaposition and re-present them for your enjoyment and delight. They will play tricks with memory, cut a playful slice through Time itself and show our lives – our shared local history – in an unexpected new light. Hacker Farm will create a zone where QR-codes and Edwardian ephemera cohabit with Punk Rock posters and tractor parts, where the Present and the Past commingle and gently collide to remind us what an amazing and robust little town Yeovil is.

There will be objects, images, sounds and stories. All it needs now is you.    

Opening Time: Saturday 15, 22 & 29 September, 11am to 6pm, including drop in workshops, guided tour and demonstration. Window display on view all time during Art Weeks.
Special performance: Saturday 22 September, 6-7pm as part of Yeovil Buskfest. Details please see website hackfarm.net
