Talarico Tours Wilde Years

Oct 28 2009

Kevin O’Callaghan, curator (below), was also on hand and according to him, the biggest challenge was how to mount 700 pieces of work so that it would not look cluttered. His solution was to build “floating” curved walls, a replica of a bus shelter and a gigantic TV set.
