The Antikythera Shipwreck Exhibit

Dated to 60-50 BC, the shipwreck was found off the coast of Antikythera. The ship carried cargo dating from 4th to 1st century BC and was sailing towards Italy carrying among other cargo bronze and marble sculptures, glassware and jewellery, and amongst these the famous “Antikythera Mechanism”. The finds reflect the new phenomenon of art trade, the first in the history of Western civilization.

These marble sculptures have been severely eroded by stone-eating organisms of the sea, and only their parts trapped safely in the mud of the seabed have remained wonderfully intact.

Scarred and deformed, the half-destroyed sculptures now seem even more human. No longer serving as images of idealised beauty, their artistic quality has reached a new dimension, distorted by nature’s interference. Their image haunts you long after you’ve left them behind.

‘In 1916, the National Savings Committee issued this poster to discourage reckless spending on expensive, ostentatious clothing and implied excess earnings be put to more ‘patriotic’ use through investment in war savings schemes to fund Britain’s spiralling war costs.’

Do you enjoy hot men getting their gorgeous faces repeatedly hammered by fists to no discernible effect? Then you’ll love this film! (I also loved it, despite my concern. Lense-flare the crap out of my life, JJ!)
