Tate Exchange Planning 2018-19 - Theme Movement ...

Planning for Tate Exchange 2018-2019 will start in July and we could be back at Tate Exchange (Tex) from October 2018. Our collaboration with Tate Exchange will be different, we hope to have a more informal ongoing exchange/residency over the year which could include small informal regular interventions as well as the larger events (depending on funding/support).
The 18/19 Tex theme we will be Movement and the lead artist for Tate Exchange we will be working with is Tania Bruguera who is the artist commissioned to install the Turbine Hall art work for 2018/19.
