That diesel-powered elephant
It should be taken as a paradoxical vindication of the two curators' success (or perhaps a gauge of the minimal extent of their contribution to the show's success?) that, after the vivacity and humour of the exhibits themselves, their talk on the motives and ideas behind it seemed singularly flat and uninspired. The same can't be said of the final performance related to the exhibition, which brought together the Whitstable Hoodeners and the Harthill Tuppers for a couple of entertaining performances: the latter more so because of the relative novelty of seeing a sheep (tup) rather than a horse as the animal at the centre of the musical folk-drama.
