Tate Exchange

Tate Exchange Programme.

Tate Exchange is an open experiment; a space for an ongoing programme of events developed by artists, practitioners, and associates. It is a place where everyone is invited to collaborate, test ideas and discover new perspectives on life, through art.

The programme is currently under review in the light of changes in the external environment. We will release further details in due course.

Take a closer look at just some of our past Tate Exchange residencies in this short video:
