I would like to upload images to this event

Thursday 28-May-2009 - Friday 24-Jul-2009

The exhibition will feature works by twelve international artists who take their inspiration from the traditional meanings of ‘parades’ and ‘processions’, creating works that epitomise the social and political context of our time. The resulting works, ranging from sculpture to installation, films and videos, are powerful forms of expression that address issues of history, culture, identity and politics. They also highlight the recent and increasing phenomenon in our society of holding parades and processions. This exhibition aims to show a selection of works by contemporary artists who see in these themes considerable possibilities for expression.

  This week's exhibitions previews

   

  Richard Hamilton, LondonRichard Hamilton's famed collage of 1956, Just What Is It That Makes Today's Homes So Different, So Appealing?, featuring an erotically supercharged muscleman and pinup girl amid similarly hot designer furniture, earned him the title Father Of Pop Art. Yet it's an accolade that doesn't do justice to the artist's political punch. This survey focuses on the octogenarian's stridently politicised side, showcasing works that mix righteous ire, piercing insight and media savvy....

  Visible Invisible: Against the Security of the Real Parasol Unit, London 25 November - 7 February Bridget Riley describes her mother thus: “She was always pointing out colours: in the sea; the sparkle of dew: changes of colour when the dew was brushed away. If she arranged anything on the table like a bowl of fruit […] she would point out the colours. ‘Look it’s almost got a blue on it.’* She wasn’t a painter, she was a ‘looker’. The pleasure that one could get from looking was part of her pe...
