Hayward Gallery Touring Brings Work by 50 Leading British Artists to Regional Venues Across the UK

Hayward Gallery Touring is delighted to announce Small Wonders: Reimagining British Art, a new touring exhibition launching as part of the Southbank Centre’s 75th anniversary celebrations. Bringing together new and existing work by 50 acclaimed artists, the show offers an eclectic snapshot of British art across the past 45 years.

The exhibition features alumni from every edition of the landmark British Art Show – the UK’s most significant recurring survey of contemporary art – spanning the inaugural 1979 iteration to the most recent in 2021. Inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s Boîte-en-valise (a ‘portable museum’ comprising miniature versions of his work), each artist was invited to contribute a small-scale work reflecting on their past involvement in British Art Show. Each approached the invitation in a distinctly personal way.
