Tate Britain: In Conversation - Elizabeth Price & Lucy Byatt

As part of our Centenary Programme members are invited to listen to artist Elizabeth Price discuss her display for the Contemporary Art Society’s space at Tate Britain.

As part of the Contemporary Art Society’s Centenary Programme three artists have been invited to select works from Tate’s collection, Elizabeth Price is the first of these. Using the list of over 250 works gifted to Tate by the Contemporary Art Society as a starting point, in late 2009 Price spent several weeks working from within Tate’s collection and archive.

Price's point of departure for this display is Five Tyres Remoulded, a series of prints by Richard Hamilton, given to Tate by the Contemporary Art Society in 1975. They are presented here alongside a selection of other works from Tate's Collection, which were also acquired as gifts. Circles, spirals and loops lead the compositional and conceptual operation of each work presented.

Perfect Courses and Glistening Obstacles will run to 9 May 2010 and will be followed by a display devised by Yane Caslovski in May and Turner Prize winner, Richard Wright in September 2010.

This event forms part of the Contemporary Art Society's
Centenary Programme. Working in partnership with our sixty-three member museums, the programme which includes events, performances, displays, fellowships, publications and exhibitions, will give profile to our most important recent acquisitions and reflect on the most significant gifts made since 1910.
