What’s on

One of the best known prizes for visual arts in the world, Turner Prize 2019 is coming to Turner Contemporary in Margate.

This year Turner Contemporary presents the eighth edition of Platform, the annual region-wide project created to support new graduate talent across the south east of England. This year’s exhibition includes four artists graduating from Fine Art courses at two Kent universities.

Turner Contemporary, in collaboration with Kent Libraries, has commissioned sound artist, designer and electronic musician Yuri Suzuki to make a new art work as part of Margate NOW.

Place, Space and Who is a new artwork by British, Birmingham based artist Barbara Walker, created over a four-month residency at Turner Contemporary. It explores identity and belonging, featuring sound and portraits of five women and girls from the African Diaspora living in Margate and Kent.

ANOTHER TIME is a series of one hundred, solid cast-iron figures by Antony Gormley that explore the experience of being human.
