Art at Glyndebourne

We are very proud of our role in developing the visual arts programme with Glyndebourne, bringing
together White Cube and Carmody Groarke and the legendary opera house in Sussex to create a unique platform for contemporary art within a music-based institution: White Cube at Glyndebourne.

As instigators and producers of objects, environments, events, and programmes there is little more satisfying for us when a collaboration is made real.

The new production of Donizetti's Poliuto demonstrates the point we are eager to discuss: the porousness between forms of art- the video work 1365 Days Without Red by Anri Sala has deeply influenced the stage images assembled by the designers Julia Hansen & fettFilm.  A story set in Armenia, in 257 A.D., via the imagination of a 19th c. Italian composer, reanimated via a thoroughly 21st c. vision.

The inaugural exhibition in the gallery displays a series of new paintings by the German artist Georg Baselitz. Please visit the White Cube website for a full press release about this exhibition curated by Andrea Schlieker.
