The Museum of Broken Relationships in Zagreb will be exhibiting at London’s Southbank Centrethis summer. A couple of years ago
Apprentice Man (who really deserves a change of name now that he is grown up) inspired
by what I can only assume was a morbid curiosity for my work, visited that
museum whilst traveling around Croatia.
He showed me the photographs afterwards. I recall that there
was the axe which had belonged to the
jilted guy who chopped his ex’s furniture into little pieces when she took off
on holiday with her lesbian lover. There
was also the wing mirror of the car smashed by a woman who had found it parked
outside an unknown address by her two-timing husband.
Now you can have the opportunity not only to marvel over such artefacts but also to donate them. The Southbank Centre is inviting gifts of items from past relationships to coincide with its Festival of Love and the exhibition by the Croatian museum.
