What’s on

To mark our 10th anniversary and ten years on from our first Open, this open submission exhibition celebrates and showcases the wealth of artistic talent living, working and training in Kent.

Please note there is currently no access to the Age UK exhibition.

In spring 2022 we will present the first major solo exhibition by British-Ghanaian artist Larry Achiampong. The exhibition will include the newly commissioned feature-length film Wayfinder, which follows a young girl’s journey across England. Achiampong has also curated a display of paintings by JMW Turner and collaborated with Turner Contemporary to create a gaming room.

Sophie von Hellermann and Anne Ryan present Sirens, a new collaborative commission made for Turner Contemporary’s ground floor Sunley Gallery, which looks out over the North Sea. It will combine large-scale paintings by von Hellermann with Ryan’s three-dimensional painted ‘cutouts’.

Sited in Margate, beside Turner Contemporary, you can see one of a series of one hundred, solid cast-iron figures by Antony Gormley that explore the experience of being human.
