Ernesto Neto, and The New Décor19th Jun – 5th Sep 2010
The Hayward Gallery is putting on a special exhibition of work by Ernesto Neto, who will transform the upper galleries and outdoor sculpture terraces with a number of new works. ‘The New Décor’ will survey some 30 contemporary artists whose work explores interior design as a means of engaging with contemporary culture.

The Hayward Gallery was designed by Hubert Bennett in 1968, and named after the leader of the GLC – Sir Isaac Hayward.

It is perhaps the grimmest of the Southbank Centre’s concrete catastrophes (one architect accused it of having a quite frightening ugliness), but don’t let the depressing shell keep you from the inside – where you’ll find major art exhibitions by the world’s leading artists.
