Recent Acquisition – MMU Special Collections
I’m glad to announce that ‘Mycelium Bowl #2 – Oyster’ (see The Growing Lab) has been acquired by Manchester Metropolitan University and that it’s now part of MMU’s Special Collections.
Manchester Metropolitan University Special Collections is an Arts Council England Accredited Museum, with a long history of collecting contemporary craft and design for teaching and research purposes since the 1890’s. The organisation is continuing to develop for meeting the changing needs of the teaching staff, research groups and of the wider audience.
To this end, MMU’s Special Collections has identified Officina Corpuscoli’s artwork, adding to the growing contemporary craft and design collection, focusing on material and process innovation, while enhancing and extending its collection.
