Painting in Time





Leeds’ Tetley gallery has unveiled a new exhibition designed to explore the ever-evolving world of art. On display until July, it features work from international artists such as Yoko Ono, the widow of Beatle John Lennon, and Polly Apfelbaum.
From inflatable paintings, to painting machines, visitors are being encouraged to ask themselves - ‘what constitutes painting today?’.
The city centre gallery is running workshops and talks based on the exhibition.

Edited by historian-publisher Peter Ruyffelaere, it also includes critical essays, dialogues and interviews by art historians, critics, and artists like Ai Wei Wei and Takashi Murakami.
