Richard Billingham: We Ran Together

28 Oct-16 Dec 2023

Overview

With Richard Billingham's TV debut - Fishtank - at its centre, We Ran Together is an exhibition across two seasons. This side of Christmas has a focus on Billingham and the work that was made alongside Fishtank.

The season takes a closer look at socio-economic movement and the visual arts. Socio-economic background remains a huge and largely invisible issue in the arts. With fewer defined career routes and limited security, the challenges are still very present in the visual arts. Recent years, and the necessary pulling back together of family groups or bubbles into restricted domestic spaces, brings a new resonance to this work.
