If you look like your passport photo you're too ill to travel

21 April — 20 May 2012 *on now

If you look like your passport photo you're too ill to travel explores the representation and utilisation of history and heritage in tourism and regeneration.

The exhibition investigates how contemporary art critiques the consumption of tourism and the heritage industry, and place myths which persuade the tourist that what they see is ‘real’.

Through painting, photography, and video the four artists and artist groups unpick exoticism and the mythology of the ‘other’ through colonial imagery, landscape, and satire.

Duncan Swann's work draws from artefacts and souvenirs to echo a colonial scenario. Common culture look at the concept of leisure through parallels between 19th century grand tour and the modern package holiday.

Walker and Bromwich adopt regeneration strategies to investigate utopian thought and place making. Uta Koegelsberger invokes the exoticism of travel through representation of collections as paradise landscapes.

  • Any age

Jake and Dinos Chapman: My Giant Colouring Book

7 July — 5 August 2012

Sometimes controversial, never less than entertaining, Jake and Dinos Chapman turn their attention to that most innocuous of printed materials - the childrens colouring book.

The prints in this exhibition began as dot-to-dot puzzles, photo-etched on to copper plates, transformed by the Chapman brothers into surreal landscapes, hilareous monsters and strange happenings. Dinos Chapman says the resulting works are "about how wrong you could make an image".
