Opening Exhibition Announced
Turner Prize nominees (1999) Jane and Louise Wilson have been commissioned for the opening exhibition in the QUAD gallery.
The gallery programme in QUAD is intended to have an international relevance that accomodates regional and local interests and this first exhibition will set a benchmark for our future programme and places QUAD at the forefront of contemporary art.
Jane and Louise Wilson are renowned internationally for their experimentation with film, video and photography. They have spent the past year researching and planning this work that is based upon Derby's industrial and cultural history. From Joseph Wright to Ian Breakwell and Vivien Westwood, Derby's cultural past is full of depth and variety.
Louise Clements, Senior Curator at QUAD said: "We wanted to create something truly special for the first exhibition within QUAD and Jane and Louise have done just that. It is fantastic for us to work with such high profile names and this work is sure to attract people from far and wide to Derby."
