British Art Show: A Chorus of Strangers - Cov University /Herbert Art Gallery

Geek.Zone will be attending the annual British Art Show as it starts in Coventry this year! We plan to go to the University part first, then the Herbert, followed by a sit down in the cafe to chat about the day.
Depending on the time we may stop for lunch in between the two.

The Event:
Experience the UK’s most significant exhibition of contemporary art as British Art Show 10 launches in Coventry.

Curated by the acclaimed writer and curator Ekow Eshun, this landmark exhibition provides a timely overview of the most exciting art produced in the UK over the past five years. Featuring more than 30 artists, it explores how we relate to one another and our planet during a time of profound social, cultural, and environmental change.

Titled A Chorus of Strangers, British Art Show 10 is presented across Herbert Art Gallery & Museum, Coventry University, and the Mead Gallery. Through an ambitious mix of painting, sculpture, photography, film, and installation, the featured artists explore themes of identity, belonging, memory, and community and our relationship with the natural world.

Thought-provoking and visually ambitious, A Chorus of Strangers offers a powerful view of the world today and the vital role art can play in navigating uncertainty, difference and connection.
