The Greenhouse Effect

Serpentine Gallery, London

The exhibition includes artists from France, Denmark, UK, US, Canada, Sweden and Japan. An additional component of the exhibition will take place at the Natural History Museum.

This international group exhibition explores the ways in which young artists, many of whom will be showing their work in the UK for the first time, are reinterpreting the classical subject of nature in art. For these artists, who live primarily in cities, the most mundane aspects of the natural world have become curious and exotic. Using as their materials either the 'real thing' or re-creating natural experiences as ordinary as a rain shower, they evoke in the beholder sensations of wonder and fascination. This innovative exhibition will transform the Serpentine Gallery into a greenhouse gone awry in which visitors will never be fully certain whether what they see is live or artificial.

The Serpentine Gallery, situated in the heart of Kensington Gardens in a 1934 tea pavilion, was founded in 1970 by the Arts Council of England. Today the Gallery attracts over 400,000 visitors a year and is one of London's most loved exhibition sites for modern and contemporary art. The Serpentine is open daily from 10am to 6pm and is free of charge.
