On view from Jul 15 - Sep 07
Opens on Fri, Jul 17

Suprematism is Political Speech: The Meštrović Pavilion

On view from Sep 19 - Nov 14
Opens on Sat, Sep 19


At Slought Foundation, we seek to present a provocative curatorial agenda that responds to the particular issues and challenges our communities face today, and we envision our activities as a bridge between different socio-economic and cultural communities. Many of the individuals we present emphasize research as a fundamental component of their work, and challenge us to reconsider the politics of exhibition display by evading clear distinctions between artist, critic, and curator. Our programs often examine the legacies of the historic avant-gardes for contemporary practice, and the role of the artist as provocateur, with particular attention given to the European continent and the international scene.

Current and upcoming exhibitions in our galleries are listed immediately to the left; selections from past programming are listed below.
