Solo show
16 Sep - 5 Dec 2009
Following on from A Picture of You? in Spring 2009, and including selections from some of the artists featured in that exhibition, A Picture of Us? continues The Great British Art Debate at Museums Sheffield – a four-year collaboration with Tate Britain, Norfolk Museums & Archaeology Service and Tyne & Wear Museums, exploring what it means to be British in the run-up to the 2012 Olympics.
The exhibition features selections from Wayne Hemingway (designer and co-founder of Red or Ded), Kate Rusby (Mercury Prize-nominated musician), leading art collector, Anthony d’Offay, and artists including Lisa Cheung, Layla Curtis and Hew Locke.
Layla Curtis has been invited to choose a British artwork from the
Tate and Museums Sheffield collections that she felt said something about
her own identity. Curtis' collage United Kingdom work is also included in the exhibition.
