Between 8 October 2016 and 8 January 2017, the British Museum sent a Spotlight loan of samian ware pottery to Turner Contemporary in Margate as part of the Museum’s wide-ranging national partnership work. Also known as pudding pans, the pottery originally washed ashore from a Roman shipwreck off the coast near Whitstable.
The British Museum National Programmes team and Turner Contemporary have commissioned artist Hannah Lees to create a new work in response to the Spotlight loan. Working in close collaboration with an artist allowed both organisations to bring an important new perspective to the interpretation of the pots. Focusing on the idea of feasting, Hannah worked with Richard Hobbs, Weston Curator of Roman Britain and Sam Moorhead, National Finds Advisor: Iron Age and Roman Coins to ensure that all aspects of her installation were accurate as well as evocative.
