• Saturday 2 November 2024, 12.00 – 1.00pm
• Sunday 1 December 2024, 12.00 – 1.00pm

Anya Gallaccio: preserve is the largest survey exhibition to date of British artist Anya Gallaccio. The exhibition spans three decades of Gallaccio’s radical practice, restaging several iconic sculptures in addition to a new site-specific commission. It reveals the artist’s consistent rethinking of the relationship between art and the environment by presenting works that connect with Kent’s natural heritage.

Due to the temporal nature of her work, much of Gallaccio’s practice is best known through documentary photographs and memory. This exhibition introduces her sculptures and large-scale installations so that a new generation can engage in their references to environmental sustainability and preserving fragile ecosystems.

This tour is delivered in British Sign Language by Jason Tennant without an interpreter or a voiceover.

Jason will help you explore key artworks on these tours to deepen your understanding of the artist and the exhibition.
