We’re keeping our fingers crossed that we’ll be able to re-open @pallanthousegallery next week subject to tomorrow’s announcements about the tiers. Our team have been busy these past few weeks installing our new exhibitions including ‘Richard Hamilton: Respective’ which explores the influence of Marcel Duchamp and international modernism on Hamilton’s work. Here’s a picture I took of our Head of Exhibitions Louise Weller with the Duchamp/Hamilton collaboration ‘Oculist Witnesss’. So there’s much to look forward to once we reopen. #richardhamilton #modernbritishart #pallanthousegallery #behindthescenes #marcelduchamp #exhibitions (at Pallant House Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIB1s8AFnXj/?igshid=1v3tukc92zqk5

I decided to show an image representing the coronavirus crisis in China, because at the time I felt that it had a large amount of coverage in the media, but many people seemed ignorant to the fact that it could affect them. Other symbols include the framed photograph of Harvey Weinstein which has slightly fallen. This was to represent the fall of Weinstein in the midst of sexual abuse claims at the time, and how Hollywood gives rich men, like Weinstein, too much power.
