Ernesto Neto, and The New Décor
19th 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.
Move: Choreographing You
13th Oct 2010 – 9th Jan 2011 “Move: Choreographing You” invites you to become a participant in installations and sculptures by internationally renowned visual artists and choreographers from the last 50 years. The exhibition explores how dance has been a driving force in the development of contemporary art since the 1960s.
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.
The Hayward Gallery focuses mainly on contemporary British art, but has ever-changing exhibitions by international artists. They feature a wide range of paintings, sculpture and photography. Admissions rates vary, depending on what’s on.
