SUMMARY:Tate Liverpool: Tate Liverpool: Ken’s Show: Exploring the Unseen
DESCRIPTION:Ken’s Show: Exploring the Unseen\n\n2 April – 17 June 2018\
 nWolfson Gallery\nFree\n\n2018 marks Tate Liverpool’s 30th anniversary. 
 Since opening in 1988 one man has been a constant presence at the Albert 
 Dock gallery: Art Handling Manager Ken Simons. To celebrate this landmark 
 year\, Tate Liverpool will present a once-in-a-lifetime exhibition of 30 a
 rtists’ works from the Tate collection curated and conceived by Ken.\n\n
 Ken’s Show: Exploring the Unseen\, in the ground floor Wolfson Gallery
 \, includes some of his favourite artworks – many of which he has previo
 usly installed in the galleries. Together the works explore the unseen or 
 mysterious spaces in our world and point to Ken’s particular interest in
  sculptural and landscape art. Many of the chosen artists have worked dire
 ctly with Ken\, and a number of their works have now become central to the
  Tate collection.\n\nKey works will include Light Red Over Black 1957 by
  Mark Rothko which was exhibited in 1988 when Tate Liverpool opened\, Phil
 lip King’s large sculpture Within 1978-9\, Snow Storm – Steam-Boat 
 off a Harbour's Mouth 1842 by J.M.W. Turner\, Hollow Form with White by 
 Barbara Hepworth 1965\, The Tree A c.1913 by Piet Mondrian which has been
  exhibited in all three decades of the gallery’s history in 1998\, 2003
  and 2014\, and Angel 1997 by Mark Wallinger who won the Turner Prize wh
 en it was held at Tate Liverpool in 2007.\n\nFor 30 years at Tate Liverpoo
 l\, and 43 years with Tate in total\, Ken has been entrusted with all of t
 hese masterpieces. From the gallery’s launch\, to its position as a trai
 lblazer for culture-led regeneration and its willingness to take risks on 
 new artists\, Ken’s journey with these artworks has been one shared by t
 he visitors but his role goes unseen by them. Now\, as he prepares to reti
 re\, the Art Handler steps in to the spotlight.\n\nKen Simons said: ‘Thi
 s is an amazing opportunity to display some of my favourite works from Tat
 e collection after so many years getting to know the works personally. It 
 is through this hands-on interaction and curating this show that I learnt 
 and understood much more about artists’ exploration of space.’\n\nOver
  the past three decades the gallery has established itself as the most vis
 ited modern and contemporary art gallery outside of London with 15 million
  visitors enjoying the international exhibitions and collection displays p
 rogramme\, all of which have been hung by Ken Simons. Now\, thanks to Ken
 ’s exhibition\, they can experience again the iconic artworks that have 
 helped make Tate Liverpool a lynchpin of Liverpool’s creative sector and
  a leading light for modern art galleries outside the capital.
