The exhibition explores cultural identity in the context of contemporary Britain. What does it mean in the 21st century to be British? Who can and can't consider themselves to be British? The artists in this exhibition have each in their own way responded to the issue of identity. The works on show will include a major painting, Albus, by Marcus Harvey, a mirror piece by Henry Krokatsis, an example of Keith Coventry's famous White Abstract series, a representation of Tony Blair by Zak Ové, and new works by Neal Tait, Penny Lamb, Paul Housley, Hew Locke and Heywood + Condie.
