- facial features as well as other parts of her body are blurred. She stands just inside the frontal opening of a small brick structure. Many of the bricks appear to be aged or stained. Around the structure’s exterior are pipes, wiring and other industrial materials. A stack of bricks in the foreground dominates much of the photograph’s left side, and the entire image seems tilted slightly to the left. Below the photograph, on the off-white paper mount, Woodman has written in blue ink: ‘Bunny bun I’m in the photolab come fetch me if the mood or a rock should strike you’.Description

- visitors into active participants Playful and mesmerising, this immersive exhibition celebrates the visionary work of [LINK text='Julio Le Parc' href='https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/julio-le-parc-1494']. Featuring his striking interactive installations, shimmering light sculptures, and large-scale geometric paintings, the show spans an extraordinary career from the late 1950s to the 2020s. He is best known for his pioneering kinetic sculptures, which use light, movement and mirrored surfaces to surprise and draw in the viewer. Le Parc wanted to make viewers feel active, with their acts of looking and experiencing bringing each artwork to life; to make more democratic art that everyone can easily enjoy. The show also explores the depth and diversity of Le Parc’s talent, with trailblazing installation art plus canvases and works on paper experimenting with colour combinations and dynamic visual effects. Born in Argentina in 1928, Le Parc moved to France in 1958, where he settled. He was part of the vibrant artistic scene of 1960s Paris, a time of radical innovation and boundless creativity, but always maintained strong connections to Latin America.Description

- Claude Monet Nymphéas 1914-1917 Legs Michel Monet, 1966. Inv. 6085 © Musée Marmottan Monet / Studio Christian Baraja SLB Enjoy the exquisite works of one of history’s best-loved artists Tate Modern’s first ever exhibition focusing exclusively on Claude Monet brings together breathtaking paintings from lenders across the globe, including rarely seen works from private collections. Based mainly in France, Monet lived through an era which saw the rise of railways, industrialisation, the modern city, and the adoption of standardised timekeeping. Drawing on new research, the show explores how Monet responded to these seismic changes through his work. The exhibition centres on Monet’s profound and evolving relationship with time. We see how he echoed the rapid pace of modern life by capturing the fleeting, instantaneous ‘impressionist’ moment, through works such as Arrival of the Normandy Train, Gare Saint-Lazare (1877). We are also shown, in celebrated series such as Poplars on the Epte (1891–1897), Monet’s attempts, through variations of the same subject, to capture a specific, transient instant in time. Finally, the show reveals Monet’s enduring relationship with nature and how, as a subject in perpetual movement, it shifts with the passing years and seasons. We see his retreat into his beloved garden in Giverny, resulting in the creation of the world-famous Water Lilies cycle.Description

- Yuan Jai Jadeite Cabbage 1999. Ink and color on silk. 96 × 170 cm. Courtesy of the Artist and Vitamin Creative Space Experience the intricate beauty of this traditional art-form Ink is Tate’s first ever exhibition dedicated to the enduring and profoundly philosophical practice of ink painting. Serving as an introduction to this beautiful, intricate artform, the show highlights key ideas within the ink tradition, including its sense of historical continuity and relationship to the natural world. Organised around three themes ‘Life’, ‘the Garden’, and ‘Breath’, the exhibition features around 80 works. While ink painting is widely practiced across East Asia and its diasporas, the show focuses on key artists in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan who helped reinvent it for the twentieth century. Each found new ways to honour the tradition while pushing it forward - boldly experimenting, yet staying true to its core principles. By tracing the connections between these artists, Ink reveals a vibrant regional network and challenges familiar Western narratives of modern art, including ideas of originality, expressionism and the avant-garde.Description

Photo: © AGUTTES – Rodolphe Alepuz Witness the bold and beautiful works of leading Algerian artist Tate Modern presents the UK’s first ever solo exhibition of the work of Algerian artist Baya (Mahieddine). Featuring more than 100 of her vivid gouache watercolours, alongside unique ceramic sculptures, this show traces Baya’s groundbreaking impact across cultural landscapes in North Africa and Europe during the 20th century. Forging an artistic and cultural identity in newly independent Algeria, Baya’s geometric patterns and bold colours were rooted in the creative and natural surroundings of her homeland, as well as its storytelling and musical traditions. Throughout her life, she defied attempts to categorise her work in terms like ‘surrealist’ or ‘naive’, instead claiming her distinctly modernist approach as simply ‘Baya-ism’.Description

- Witness the powerful work of leading contemporary artist Nalini Malani Surveying the incredible six-decade career of contemporary artist Nalini Malani, this exhibition is characterised by its ability to evoke both beauty and discomfort. As a global storyteller based in Mumbai, Malani’s work is deeply influenced by her own lived experience as a child refugee of India’s Partition. Her practice centres on rewriting Western and Eastern history, myths and literature in a way that prompts viewers to question the world around them. With this exhibition, Malani addresses the complexity of our times and reveals the hopeful conviction that guides her practice: ‘The future is female, there is no other way’. Known in India since the late sixties for her pioneering multidisciplinary approach, Malani gained international recognition with signature monumental multi-media works and installations such as Mother India: Transactions in the Construction of Pain, and In Search of Vanished Blood. These works will be presented in the show alongside her recent iPad animation series Can You Hear Me? Designed specially with the artist, this is Malani’s largest survey exhibition to date, compromising almost 200 works. These include rarely seen watercolour diaries, black and white films, camera-less photography, large-scale video-based works, innovative reverse paintings and a newly-commissioned wall drawing and performance piece.Description

Immerse yourself in the electrifying, rule-shattering world of Lynda Benglis is renowned for challenging conventions and reinventing materials. This approach is already evident in her celebrated ‘pours’, first made in the late 1960s, when she mixed latex and Day-Glo pigments and poured them directly onto the floor to dramatic effect. Over the following decades, Benglis has continued to push the boundaries of form and material across video, photography, sculpture, and installation, working with substances as varied as polyurethane foam, bronze, ceramic, paper and glitter, to create an oeuvre as surprising as it is radical. Tate Modern will present more than 50 works spanning the late 1960s to the present, showcasing the inventive aesthetic that has cemented the American artist's role as one of the most influential artists of our time.Description

- This landmark exhibition traces 40 years of Emin’s groundbreaking practice, showcasing career-defining sensations alongside works never exhibited before. Through painting, video, textiles, neons, writing, sculpture, and installation, Emin continues to challenge boundaries, using the female body as a powerful tool to explore passion, pain, and healing. Dame [LINK text='Tracey Emin' href='https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/tracey-emin-2590'] is one of the most important contemporary artists of her generation. She was catapulted into the public eye in the 1990s with iconic works like her Turner Prize nominated My Bed, which sparked fierce critical and public debate, challenging what art could be. Emin’s disregard for any separation of the personal and the public, along with her commitment to unapologetic self-expression, came to define a historic moment in British culture and global art history. Broadening Emin’s story, this exhibition celebrates her raw and confessional approach as she poses profound questions on love, trauma, and autobiography. It also demonstrates her lifelong commitment to painting, showing her recent work as the culmination of the ways she has channelled her life into her art. Tracey Emin is presented in the Eyal Ofer Galleries. In partnership with Gucci. With additional support from the Tracey Emin Exhibition Supporters Circle and Tate Members.Description

- Hurvin Anderson’s first major solo show brings together more than 80 of his vibrant paintings, spanning the artist’s entire career, from his days as a student to new, never-before-seen paintings. Through colour-drenched landscapes and interiors, Anderson meanders back and forth across the Atlantic, between the UK and the Caribbean. The youngest of eight children, he was the first to be born in the UK after his family left Jamaica for Birmingham in the 1960s. As a result, Anderson’s work reflects on his experiences of belonging and diaspora. His works often feature family members, experiences from his youth and places of individual and cultural significance like the barbershop. By revisiting elements and sometimes layering one location onto another, he engages with the unreliability of memory and tension around cultural heritage. Thanks to his profoundly atmospheric use of composition to explore the markers of identity, and his deep-rooted engagement with the traditions of British landscape painting, this exhibition confirms Anderson’s standing as one of the most important contemporary painters of his generation. Hurvin Anderson is supported by The Parker Foundation and Huo Family Foundation. With additional support from the Hurvin Anderson Exhibition Supporters Circle and Tate Patrons.Description

- Experience Picasso’s works in a new way with an exhibition staged by contemporary artists Pablo Picasso (https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/pablo-picasso-1767) was fascinated by performers and their ability to transform. He was inspired by the dancers, entertainers and bullfighters he painted. He borrowed from them to create his own public persona: Picasso, the Artist. Marking the centenary of his famous painting The Three Dancers (https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/picasso-the-three-dancers-t00729) , this exhibition, staged by celebrated contemporary artist Wu Tsang (https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/wu-tsang-26032) and author and curator Enrique Fuenteblanca, sheds new light on Picasso’s work. They will transform the exhibition space into a theatre for displaying over 45 works by Picasso from Tate's collection, alongside key European loans. This includes paintings, sculpture, textile and works on paper, some never seen in the UK before. Through his persona, Picasso cultivated a myth surrounding himself as both a celebrated artist and an outsider. The way that he did this can be examined through this exhibition. Picasso’s persona was not static but evolved over time, reflecting his changing artistic vision and the historical context in which he lived.Description
