Plymouth British Art Show 7

Plymouth British Art Show 7 Exhibition

The British Art Show 7 exhibition includes paintings, drawings, sculpture, installations, video, film and performances from 39 artists and is a great opportunity to view work by both established artists and rising stars of the art world. Christian Marclay and Haroon Mirza recently won the Golden Lion and Silver Lion Awards at the 54th Venice Biennale, while George Shaw and Karla Black have been nominated for this year’s Turner Prize.  The event employs a motif of the comet to explore and draw together a set of concerns that thread their way through the practices of the selected artists.

A Hayward Touring Exhibition from Southbank Centre, London, the British Art Show 7 will be displayed across five venues: the Slaughterhouse – Royal William Yard, the Peninsula Arts Gallery, Plymouth University; Plymouth Arts Centre; Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery; and Plymouth College of Art.

In addition to the main exhibition a ‘Constellation’ programme of events and activities, including artist talks, film screenings, public performances and workshops, will take place.  There will also be a fringe programme led by independent local artists.

Admission to the exhibition will be free – as will most of the activities!
