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.
