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. |
 The first major exhibition of J.M.W. Turner works in China is currently on show at The National Art Museum of China (NAMOC) in Beijing, the result of a partnership between the British Council, Tate and NAMOC. |
 A major solo presentation, the exhibition will feature video and sculpture by acclaimed British artist Mark Wallinger. Shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 1995 and then winner of the same prize in 2007, Wallinger also represented Britain at the 49th Venice Biennale in 2001. |
 In collaboration with Ikon Gallery, the British Council presents a seminal exhibition by Richard Hamilton in Shanghai. Richard Hamilton is a major exponent of Pop art and one of the world's most influential contemporary artists. |
