What does the British Council do in this area?
|
| Our solo exhibitions are often organised for a specific venue, place or event, so we work very closely with the artist when selecting and commissioning work. In January 2003, Antony Gormley undertook a massive sculptural installation in China, and made 190,000 clay figures for Asian Field, with significant help from local people. We have worked with Richard Hamilton to mount a major exhibition, Imaging Ulysses, which was shown in Dublin to celebrate Bloomsday. Have a closer look through our current and archived solo exhibitions below. |
