'Where three dreams cross' is a fascinating exhibition arranged over five themes with works selected from the last 150 years. The Portrait shows the evolution of self-representation, The Family explores close bonds and relationships through early hand-painted and contemporary portraits, The Body Politic charts political moments, movements and campaigns, The Performance focuses on the golden age of Bollywood, circus performers and artistic practices. finally, The Street looks at the built environment, and explores social documentary and street photography.
Whilst exploring this gem of a Gallery, we stumbled across this wonderful installation created by Turner Prize-shortlisted artist Goshka Macuga. She has produced a tapestry copy of Picasso's 'Guernica'. The work has been specially brought to London from the headquarters of the United Nations in New York and forms the central backdrop to 'The Bloomberg Commission'. Very impressive it is too.
