Tate Britain Commission | Mike Nelson: The Asset Strippers
18 Mar-6 Oct 2019
Tate Britain
London SW1P 4RG
Mike Nelson has transformed the grand spaces of the Duveen Galleries into something between a sculpture court and an asset strippers’ warehouse. He has carefully selected objects from the post-war Britain that framed his childhood – including enormous knitting machines, woodwork stripped from a former army barracks, graffitied steel awnings and doors from an NHS hospital.
