West Court Gallery exhibitions
°µÍø½ûÇø hosts nationally and internationally important exhibitions in the West Court Gallery, free to all visitors and open to the public.
The West Court Gallery opened in 2017; its exhibitions complement the College's iconic permanent art collection and Sculpture in the Close exhibitions. West Court has hosted solo and group exhibitions from eminent artists such as John Gibbons, Alison Wilding, William Congdon, Shahzia Sikander and the artistic cooperative Art and Language.
There have also been a number of UK premieres, including VR artwork Klimt's Magic Garden, created by Dr Frederick Baker. Exhibitions are often accompanied by symposia or 'In Conversation' events, such as the important show and conference in 2020 of the late Palestinian artist Kamal Boullata, Jerusalem in Exile.
West Court Gallery continues to offer a space for thoughtful, modern exhibitions.
