Join us for the first view of our new exhibition Aquatopia - The imaginary of the ocean deep.
Aquatopia is our most ambitious exhibition to date - it features more than 150 artworks by over 60 international artists - and has been five years in the making. For this major group show we have partnered with Tate St Ives, who will present it from October to January 2014.
Important pre-20th artists in Aquatopia include JMW Turner, Francis Danby, Odilon Redon, Hokusai and Andrea Mantegna. Modernists include Oskar Kokoschka, Lucian Freud, Barbara Hepworth and Edward Wadsworth. Recent Turner Prize winners and nominees Simon Starling, Wolfgang Tillmans, The Otolith Group and Spartacus Chetwynd are among the contemporary artists featuring in the exhibition.
The official launch is followed by our Summer Party until 11pm, featuring live music and a BBQ on our sun terrace. A limited number of complimentary drinks courtesy of ABSOLUT Vodka (FCFS). Supported by ABSOLUT UNIQUE.
