Nathan Coley: You Create What You Will and Tate Modern on Fire

Free entry and free exhibitions

For the first time together, The Bowes Museum hosts Nathan Coley’s works, You Create What You Will and Tate Modern on Fire.

Both works exemplify Coley’s distinctive artistic practice, which interrogates public space and examines how systems of personal, social, religious and political belief shape our towns, cities and ultimately, our sense of self. Gaze up to the 5 and half metre illuminated text installation and wander around a mini burning version Tate Modern. As a museum dedicated to artists, designers and makers, the museum offers a fitting context for this critical exploration, providing a space where visitors are invited to question the nature of art, its role within society and their own relationship to it.
