Two new exhibitions at Bury Art Museum & Sculpture Centre

Two new exhibitions will open on Saturday (9 March) at Bury Art Museum and Sculpture Centre.

East meets West is a rare opportunity to see artworks from the private collection of the artist Wayne Warren, alongside paintings from Bury’s permanent collection which are not often on public display.

The show will include prints, drawings, and paintings, as well as some works in a range of three-dimensional materials by artists including Banksy, Pablo Picasso, and Takashi Murakami.

The exhibition will feature contemporary artworks created in China, Japan, and Australia, investigating themes of nationality and identity, the human body, aspiration and commercialism.

It will also feature European works by JMW Turner and Victor Pasmore, and work from the last 100 years by British artists including Tracey Emin.

Meanwhile, Wayne’s work will also feature in Babel, a joint exhibition with Jonathan Wright, in Bury Sculpture Centre.

Babel explores the tower, in all its forms, as image and metaphor. It explores whether the desire to build bigger, higher, denser structures for us to live and work in, invokes the kind of hubris the Bible cautions against in the tower of Babel.
