Andrew Arnaoutopoulos has constucted his work for Trojan Horse around the rich historical drama of the Parthenon Marbles. Two centuries ago these infamous sculptures were removed from Athens' Acropolis by Lord Elgin and have been kept in the collection of the British Museum despite continuing pleas for their return.
Trojan Horse focuses on the controversial relationship between Museums and their merchandise. In other words these stolen objects have generated a souvenir industry that the British Museum is reluctant to lose.
