Opening Saturday: ‘Michael Landy’s Welcome to Essex’ at Firstsite, Colchester.
For his first major public gallery exhibition in the UK for almost a decade – and on the 20th anniversary of one of his most famous works, Break Down – Landy has produced a series of ambitious new commissions based on the history of Essex and his fascination with the county’s contemporary portrayal in popular culture.
Visitors to Firstsite can also see ‘Michael Landy’s Break Down: 20 Years’, an archive exhibition of previously unseen documentation, video footage, drawings and ephemera from Landy’s ground-breaking 2001 work.
