Grayson Perry exhibition for Arnolfini

By Steve Wright  Friday Jul 14, 2017

Arnolfini has announced that it is to host a major exhibition by Grayson Perry, one of the world’s most charismatic artists and astute commentators on contemporary society, this autumn.

The arts centre’s autumn season will feature The Most Popular Art Exhibition Ever! initiated and organised by the Serpentine Galleries, with Arnolfini’s spaces transformed through a series of related events inspired by Perry’s irreverent take on contemporary culture.

The works in the exhibition examine popularity and art, masculinity, class, politics, sex and religion, as well as contemporary issues such as Brexit and ‘Divided Britain’.
