Generations Connecting Across Time and Place

Exhibition exploring how intimate relationships and collective histories affect an individual’s sense of self.

From baby boomers to millennials, to generation X, Y or Z, society is obsessed with what makes one generation different from the last. Yet, people all share collective pasts and presents. For the 12th year of The Courtauld Institute’s MA Curating the Art Museum programme, the students are pleased to announce their summer exhibition GENERATIONS: Connecting Across Time and Place. The exhibition gathers the work of twelve UK-based contemporary artists. Some artists consider the stories, memories and even genes that we inherit from our families. Others confront more distant generations, showing the continuing importance of historical figures and events.
