30,000 Years of Cryptomnesia explores the age-old theory of cryptomnesia — the brain passsing off a hidden memory as a new inspiration. Five young artists take over the Horse Hospital's Chamber of Pop Culture to explore this involuntary plagiarism with a cornucopia of mystical artefacts displayed on handcrafted wood structures. Objects featured include felt and woollen creations alluding to pagan rituals and ancient musical instrument the Spiritcatcher. This Celtic zither features in a free performance by artist Joseph Lewis on Friday 28 November, with support from black metal band Whitby Bay.
