We’re delighted to have opened our first Flashback display last night. Drawn from our exhibition archive, it focuses on the gallery launch in 1999 and first exhibition by Gilbert & George. We share here some example exhibits, and a couple of photos of staff involved in putting the project together:  Claire Corrin, Exhibitions Organiser; Aimee Holmes, Digital Communications Co-ordinator,  Katie Fields, Gallery Co-ordinator, and Victoria Mayes, Head of Learning.

Flashback: 1999 runs until 29 November 2015.  Open Tuesday – Friday 12noon – 8pm, Saturday 11am-8pm, and Sunday 11am-5pm. Admission is free.
