EXPLORING SPODE AT THE MINORIES



Peter Jones is one of a number of artists taking part in a project celebrating the history and culture of the British ceramic industry, focusing particularly on the former Spode factory site in Stoke-on-Trent. His exhibition at The Minories displays his initial reactions to the now derelict site, and considers the workmen that were once the driving force behind the successful production of ceramics within the factory.

YAYOI KUSAMA AT THE TATE MODERN



The nine decades of Yayoi Kusama's life have taken her from rural Japan to the New York art scene to contemporary Tokyo, in a career in which she has continuously innovated and re-invented her style. Well-known for her repeating dot patterns, her art encompasses an astonishing variety of media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, film, performance and immersive installation.
This is a varied, spectacular exhibition of a truly unique artist. There has never been an exhibition of this size of her work in the UK and this is an unmissable opportunity for both Kusama fans and those new to her work.
Tate Modern 9th Feb - 5th June
