Has the Film Already Started? is a suite of collection galleries which highlights ways in which ideas of performance have come to occupy a defining place in art of the last 30 years. These major works explore different approaches to the use of narrative, tableaux and found objects.

For the first time at Tate Britain, a performance work, Marc Camille Chaimowicz’s Partial Eclipse... 1980–2006 will be integrated within the displays. The performance will take place each Saturday afternoon at 3pm. Corin Sworn’s installation Endless Renovation 2010 is also shown within these displays as part of the Art Now series of projects by emerging artists.

Don McCullin is one of the most important war photographers of the late twentieth century. Throughout his career he has documented the devastation caused by events of international significance including conflicts in Vietnam, Lebanon, Cyprus and Biafra. His photographs have depicted war-torn regions with clarity and honesty.

This display, selected in collaboration with McCullin, takes a broader view of his photographic practice. In one of his first overseas assignments, to Berlin in 1961, McCullin photographed a city troubled by the uneasy coexistence of military occupation and everyday life. His studies of homeless people in east London and the urban landscapes of northern England, made from the 1960s onwards, reveal the harsh reality of life for the poor in post-war Britain.

This display focuses on the contribution of Black and Asian women artists to British art in the 1980s.

Taking as its starting point three seminal exhibitions curated by artist Lubaina Himid in London from 1983 to 1985, the display charts the coming to voice of a radical generation of British artists who challenged their collective invisibility in the art world and engaged in their art with the wider social and political issues of 1980s Britain and the world.

This exhibition will explore British art through the theme of migration from 1500 to the present day, reflecting the remit of Tate Britain Collection displays.

From the sixteenth and seventeenth century Flemish and Dutch landscape and still-life painters who came to Britain in search of new patrons, through moments of political and religious unrest, to Britain’s current position within the global landscape, the exhibition will reveal how British art has been fundamentally shaped by successive waves of migration.

This exhibition brings together over 150 works in different media, including painting, sculpture, photography and the applied arts, revealing the Pre-Raphaelites to be advanced in their approach to every genre.

Led by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Holman Hunt and John Everett Millais, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (PRB) rebelled against the art establishment of the mid-nineteenth century, taking inspiration from early Renaissance painting.

The exhibition establishes the PRB as an early example of the avant-garde: painters who self-consciously overturned orthodoxy and established a new benchmark for modern painting and design.
