Season 1, Episode 1254,   Jun 01, 2022, 08:00 AM

Now time to find out more about the audio described tour of the Cornelia Parker exhibition at Tate Britain in London on Friday 24 June 2022 at 5.30pm lead by visually impaired artist Sally Booth.

Cornelia Parker is one of Britain's best loved and most acclaimed contemporary artists. Always driven by curiosity, she reconfigures domestic objects to question our relationship with the world. Using transformation, playfulness and storytelling, she engages with important issues of our time, be it violence, ecology or human rights.  The exhibition of her work at Tate Britain brings together such iconic suspended works as Thirty Pieces of Silver 1988–9 and Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View 1991; the immersive War Room 2015 and Magna Carta 2015, her monumental collective embroidery, as well as her films and a wealth of her innovative drawings, prints and photographs. Some works will spill out beyond the confines of the exhibition and infiltrate the permanent collection, in dialogue with the historical works they reference.

RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey was joined by Nathan Ladd one of the Curators of the Cornelia Parker exhibition at Tate Britain to find out more about Cornelia and some of her iconic pieces that are on display in the exhibition at Tate Britain including Thirty Pieces of Silver, Cold Dark Matter and Nathan’s must see work War Room.
