Grayson Perry: The Most Popular Art Exhibition Ever!

Date: Wednesday, Sep 27 2017 - Sunday, Dec 24 2017
Venue: Arnolfini

Arnolfini welcomes a major exhibition by Grayson Perry, one of the world’s most charismatic artists and astute commentators on contemporary society.

The Most Popular Art Exhibition Ever! tackles one of Perry’s primary concerns: how contemporary art can best address a diverse cross section of society. On show for the first time outside of London, the exhibition is central to the autumn season at Arnolfini and a programme of events inspired by Perry’s irreverent take on contemporary culture.

In the exhibition, Perry continues to explore many of the themes and concerns that recur in his practice, drawing from his own childhood and life as a transvestite, as well as wider social issues and his abiding interest in his audience. The works in the exhibition examine masculinity, class, politics, sex, religion, popularity and art, as well as contemporary issues such as Brexit and ‘Divided Britain’.
