Secret papers, facility areas and video footage formerly used by the organisation are now on view and accessible to the public for a limited time.</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="https://karst.org.uk/exhibitions/feels-like-memeplex/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">9 June to 29 July @ KARST Gallery, Millbay</a><br /></p>
