DLA Piper Series: Constellations features more than one hundred works, many never seen before at Tate Liverpool andtakes a fresh look at the links between artworks across time and location of origin.

Constellations examines the role of nine ‘trigger’ artworks displayed within groups or ‘constellations’ of other artworks from many periods in art history. The display actively encourages the viewer to consider how the nine works were influenced by or influenced the surrounding constellation of works. The ‘trigger’ works have been chosen because of their continuous and revolutionary effect on modern and contemporary art.

Keywords is a dynamic exhibition and lecture programme looking at how changes in the meaning of words reflect the cultural shifts in our society.

Raymond Chandler’s book Keywords is the inspiration for this exhibition. The book considers the usage, origin and meaning of over one hundred and thirty words which Chandler felt recurred most often in discussions about society and culture.
The exhibition aims to present this book in an alternative format, by representing each word through a collection of artworks and so explore the connections between words and images.

Dutch painter Piet Mondrian (1872–1944) was one of the most important contributors to the development of abstract art at the beginning of the 20th century. This brand new exhibition, which commemorates the 70th anniversary of the artist’s death, provides fresh insights into Mondrian’s practice and explores his relationship with architecture and urbanism.

The exhibition focuses on this connection between painting and architecture after Mondrian’s move to Paris in 1911, with a fascinating reconstruction of his Parisian studio being a major highlight. Visitors can explore a life-size replica of the studio, and physically immerse themselves in Mondrian’s world and work
