#ncdiaries speaks with Director, Sam Thorne about his first curated show at Nottingham Contemporary, The Place Is Here.
The Place Is Here explores a pivotal decade for British culture and politics: the 1980s. Spanning painting, sculpture, photography, film and archives, the exhibition brings together a wide range of works by more than 30 artists and collectives. The questions they ask – about identity, representation and what culture is for – remain vital today.
The Place Is Here is curated by Nick Aikens and Sam Thorne. The exhibition is an expanded version of a presentation Aikens curated at the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, in 2016, titled Thinking Back: A Montage of Black Art in Britain. Archival displays are curated in collaboration with Vanley Burke, June Givanni, Lubaina Himid, Claudette Johnson, Keith Piper and Marlene Smith.
