The exhibition space of the Barbican culture center should be called the unsurpassed art institution of London. It provides easily understood educational videos and talks about architecture, design, art and photography, all without being strictly connected to certain eras, ideologies, genres and national borders. Themes of exhibitions vary from erotic trends of surrealism and Asian clothing design traditions to retrospectives of Le Corbusier, the Bauhaus and New York performance-art avant-garde. Featured exhibitions often are of a big scale and are accompanied by intensive program of lectures and master-classes. The Curve is located on the first floor of the gallery. The Curve is a home for artists experimenting with installations and multimedia projects.
The admission fee is £10 if you buy a ticket on the web site or £12 at the box office.
