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

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.
