Want to catch a Tracey Emin in Tonbridge



A few weeks ago I went along to have a look at the 'In the Flesh' exhibition currently showing in the new OBS Gallery at Tonbridge School.

The exhibition explores the body through a range of different media such as painting, sculpture, print and photography through different perspectives incuding the arts, theology and science.


Recent art school graduates, staff and students from Tonbridge School exhibit alongside well known artists such as Henry Moore, Tracey Emin, Cornelia Parker, Sidney Nolan, Antony Gormley and Chris Ofili. Quite an exclusive list!!!!!

Tracey Emin - Roman Standard - 2005
The Gallery is has perfect lighting, both natural and installed, and the architecture is stunning. So if you do go along cast your eyes upwards, away from the exhibits, and take in the windows and ceiling.


 This is really worth a look. It's free, and don't be afraid to go along simply because it's in the school. It is open to the public, and the friendly gallery attendants will have a guide on hand for you to use whilst there.

Patrice Moor - Tete de Mort - 2010/ll

 Enter through the boars heads on the High Street side, and the gallery entrance is straight ahead.


The exhibition runs until March 9, Friday - Sunday from 11am - 4pm except Friday March 7 when it is closed.
