Just 6 sleeps to go
24/7 opens next week

An essential exhibition for today, 24/7 explores the non-stop nature of modern life with multi-disciplinary works from over 50 leading global artists that both provoke and entertain.
Many of us feel we’re working more intensively, juggling too many things, blurring our public and private lives, pushing the limits of our natural rhythms of sleep and waking.
24/7 takes you on a multi-sensory journey from the cold light of the moon to the fading warmth of sunset through five themed zones with lighting installations from acclaimed theatre designer Lucy Carter
Watch our trailer below and engage, reflect and reset with an accompanying series of fascinating talks, events and workshops.
