Opening this weekend at Turner Contemporary in Margate, preserve will be Anya Gallaccio’s largest survey exhibition to date, spanning three decades of the artist’s radical practice, restaging several iconic sculptures in addition to a new site-specific commission. Presenting works that connect with Kent’s natural heritage, the exhibition will reveal Gallaccio’s consistent rethinking of the relationship between art and the environment.

Alongside the exhibition, Turner Contemporary has developed an extensive school programme in partnership with the artist titled An Apple a Day, which aims to explore Kent’s countryside, heritage, and history through the lens of the apple and the county’s apple orchards.

Exhibition curated by Melissa Blanchflower, Senior Curator, Turner Contemporary.

preserve is the first in Turner Contemporary’s new Art+Environment programme strand, where curatorial research is generously supported by the John Ellerman Foundation.
