Who Decides? Making Connections with Contemporary Art
National Museum Cardiff
This major exhibition, which opened in October 2017, celebrates 10 years of contemporary collecting and the 25 year partnership between Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales and the Derek Williams Trust. Who Decides has been curated by service users from The Wallich, a charity supporting people who have experienced homelessness in Wales, and selected from the large collection art work which has been acquired by the Derek Williams Trust and the National Museum over the last 10 years.
Artists include Anthony Caro, Olga Chernysheva, Richard Deacon, Laura Ford, Richard Long, Paula Rego, Clare Woods and Bedwyr Williams.
The exhibition also features an installation of over 70 ceramic works from the private collection of the gallery owner Anita Besson (1933-2015). This outstanding group, bequeathed to the Derek Williams Trust in 2016, features work by 13 makers including Lucie Rie, Hans Coper, Ryoji Koie and Claudi Casanovas and will be displayed together in the exhibition for the first time.
Until 2 September 2018
