Michael Clark: Cosmic Dancer

This is the first major exhibition of dancer and choreographer Michael Clark; exploring Clark’s work and establishing his radical presence in British cultural history. Looking back to his rise as a young choreographer in the 1980s, the exhibition presents an in-depth vision of Clark’s career to date. Showcasing his unique multi-disciplinary approach that incorporates a wide range of subcultural influences. Film, photography, and material from Clark’s practice is presented alongside his legendary collaborations across visual arts, music, fashion and film.

The exhibition is currently closed, and will reopen on Thursday 3 December.
