The Stratford Hoard

The Stratford Hoard is an exhibition for Transport for London's Platform for Art project at Stratford station in anticipation of the 2012 games. Curator and self-proclaimed "collector of collectors" Kane explores a statistic alleging that one in four people are collectors of some sort, bringing together an ever-changing array of teapots, '80s printed milk bottles and religious leaflets. The ever-evolving comprehensive stash — which includes Michael Jackon album covers and all the Pokémon characters ever produced — was sourced from the local community and displays countless bizarre variations on personal "taste".
