I went to see Polly Morgan's 'The Exquisite Corpse' exhibition purely because it was down the road from my flat (taxidermy has never really done it for me!) But I found the small exhibition intriguing and fascinating. Set in a huge white church at the end of Marylebone Road that definitely added to the atmosphere, the stuffed animals are in settings and scales which are intentionally unnatural and the whole thing feels quite awkward, seeing this road kill in its out of place context encourages you to look at it properly for the first time and she has definitely brought this old Victorian talent onto a new level.
