Inside The Year’s Most Anticipated Exhibition As The 90s Take Over Tate Britain
If you grew up watching Top of the Pops and flipping through early issues of Dazed & Confused, Tate Britain has a massive treat for you. The gallery has officially opened its sprawling survey of nineties visual culture, and it easily earns its spot as the biggest blockbuster show on this year’s cultural calendar. Here’s everything you need to know about the brand-new exhibition:
What can visitors expect?
Curated by former British Vogue Editor-in-Chief, Edward Enninful OBE, this new exhibition captures a chaotic, electric decade that fundamentally changed how we think about British culture.
You can expect to see groundbreaking works from iconic British artists like Damien Hirst, Sarah Lucas, Steve McQueen, and Yinka Shonibare shown side by side with legendary fashion archives.
The standout from the 90s exhibition is the quality of the photography. There are so many iconic moments and looks captured, and you leave fully understanding the playfulness and the creativity of the era. And, perhaps a little bit jealous that Gen Z aren’t partying as hard…
