Compliment DrO2e (17-04-2008) •••••
Despite being a pain to get to, this modern gallery is well worth a visit; the art starts before you even get in the building with a couple of cool external installations.
Inside, the lower atrium contains the larger contemporary installations such as a to scale blow-up tank and the frame of a house’s plumbing system (more exciting than it sounds - I promise).
There’s are a few rooms off the main hall for mainly audio and visual installations, and the gallery upstairs traces some of the strands that have led to the development of modern art.
Overall, the lighting and whitewash provide the artists with a good neutral canvas. Thankfully, the art, whilst modern, is not too abstract to be enjoyed by armchair enthusiasts - although I’m not sure how often the exhibitions last. There are the obligatory cafe and shop too for when you are all cultured out.
