Overview
Let your eyes grow wide, your hearing sharpen and your nerves
tingle as sculpture, painting, photographs, videos and prints bring
your senses roaring to life. From the eye-watering op art of
Bridget Riley's Nineteen Greys to the mind-bending,
interactive installation of Luc Peire's Environment III,
this exhibition fizzes with emotion.
Covering the period from the 1960s to the present day, Whizz
Bang Pop includes new acquisitions, such as Song Dong's
atmospheric photographs, A Pot of Boiling Water, alongside
well-known favourites, including Ed Ruscha's hypnotic acrylic on
canvas, Love Chief.
Watch as moving images flicker, lights glow fluorescent,
sculptures burst into motion, artworks lift off walls, and colours
explode and retreat.
Until 6 May 2012
