Showing – Tate Late and Triennial – London

This March, Tate Britain launches the third Triennial. Curated by Beatrix Ruf, Director of the Kunsthalle in Zurich, the show sees some thirty-six talents present their work to the Tate-going public... And this one is bound to be interesting. Ruf has brought together a hoard of artists from various generations, genres and countries. Scotland’s recently awarded Ian Hamilton Finlay, London’s multi-talented and somewhat fabulous Mark Leckey, Italy’s London-settler-Slade lecturer Enrico David and Canada’s Angela Bulloch, all line up beside others such as Liam Gillick, Daria Martin and Jonathan Monk, to explore the ‘reuse and recasting of cultural material’ in contemporary art, whatever that might be...

While the Triennial kicks off on the 1st March, Tate Late, the museum’s regular get together opens again on the 3rd. This gathering is an excellent chance to get a little cultural without too much pain. Indeed, the Tate gets a big old gold start for Tate Late; it's free of charge and grants visitors the opportunity view all exhibitions, such as Gothic Nightmares and the Tate Triennial 2006, for half price. Meanwhile, the event takes place on the first Friday of every month and this time round visitors can check out Andrzej Zulawski’s 'Possession', introduced by Mark Kermode, Mervyn Heard’s 'Grand Magic Lanterns', as well as some fashion info from Boudicca’s Brian Kirkby and Zowie Broach.

The Tate Triennial takes place at the Tate Britain from the 1st March – 14th May.
