Hetain Patel: Come As You Really Are - Swansea Open 2025


  • Glynn Vivian Swansea (map)

Come As You Really Are features thousands of objects created, modified or collected by hobbyists across the UK shown alongside a new artist film. Each hobby represents a decision to commit valuable time to live life on our own terms in a society dominated by consumerism.

As well as a creative exercise, Patel sees the exhibition as a form of protest, of pushback against forces of authority and control. - Alexander Morrison, The Art Newspaper, 24 January 2024
