‘holding space’ exhibition – Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery

holding space features nearly 50 works from Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery’s Modern and Contemporary Art collection, dating from 1964 to the present day. The exhibition marks the year in which the Timothy Gurney Gallery was inaugurated as a space dedicated to the display of modern and contemporary art.

The works in holding space explore our interaction with the spaces which surround us and how they function in our lives. The display presents new works in the collection from leading contemporary artists including Ibrahim Mahama, Beatrice Gibson and Florence Peake – some of which are on show for the first time. Other artists featured in the exhibition include Michael Andrews, Elisabeth Frink, Georgina Starr and Bruce Lacey.
