Experience the largest solo institutional exhibition of Mexico-based artist Francis Alÿs, spanning three decades
Renowned Mexico-based artist Francis Alÿs presents his first and largest solo exhibition in the UK in over a decade. The display highlights the significance of his work, including the UK premiere of his acclaimed Children’s Games series (1999-present) and a site-specific project for the local community.
Alÿs, known for his three-decade-long career spanning various mediums, from painting to video, explores the interplay between art and geopolitical dynamics. His radical practice challenges Western-centric perspectives, involving global communities in Latin America, North Africa, and the Middle East. The exhibition offers fresh insights into his prolific career and marks a milestone in the artist's impactful journey.
