One of the things about contemporary art that old grumps (not you Brian Sewell) often criticise is the perceived lack of skill involved in the actual production of the piece. It's all concept and no craftsmanship.
Well this looks set to prove them wrong. 'Demons, Yarns and Tales' is an exhibition set in what used to be a milk depot. It features fifteen internationally acclaimed artists working in the unusual medium of wall-hanging tapestry.
Tapestry might bring to mind Granny's favourite past-time or medieval images of knights and nymphs, but in the hands of these artists (Gavin Turk, Grayson Perry and Peter Blake among others) it becomes a medium that is still relevant today.
A fascinating show.
Until 22.11.08
