Regular readers of our blog will remember that we posted about Linton Meagher’s exciting and unusual art exhibition\u00a0<\/a>Pursuits: The MacNab Challenge<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>last week. Linton creates sculptures by using materials taken out of their usual context – including fish sculptures crafted from fishing flies supplied by Troutflies UK<\/a> – to tell a story\u00a0inspired by the book\u00a0John MacNab\u00a0<\/em>by John Buchan, in which the protagonist has to catch a salmon on the fly, bag a brace of grouse and stalk a stag all in a single day.<\/p>\n

The exhibition opened today (Monday October 21st) at\u00a0Gallery 8, Duke Street St James, London<\/a>, and runs until Sunday 27 October 2013, so we thought it would be a good idea to remind all our readers who are able to get to it not to miss out on what is sure to be an engrossing and thought-provoking exhibition for fans of game sports – not least because you might bump into certain members of the Troutflies UK team in person as you peruse the exhibits!<\/p>\n

The exhibition is hosted by art curators COMODAA<\/a>. Based in Sydney and London, COMODAA\u2019s remit is to introduce Australian contemporary art to markets beyond its borders, showcasing to the world that Australian art is more than what is widely believed to be indigenous work. In 2014, COMODAA aims to reciprocate the initiative and introduce British contemporary art down under.<\/p>\n
