Countdown to the private view and all is calm...


This last week we have been sneaking around Leeds Art Gallery with our cameras - taking care not to infringe any copyright of course (you'll have to excuse the blurry nature of our undercover snaps). The gallery technicians and curators are working around the clock to install the four shortlisted artist's work. They have very tight turn around times, having taken down two exhibitions in the last week (British Surrealism in Context and Hughie O'Donoghue- The Journey) they now set about creating video installation rooms within the galleries for Ian Crowe and Nick Rawlinson's Four Horsemen , and constructing huge bespoke screens (Matt Stokes), and waiting on international shipping (Rachel Goodyear)


This year with a slight break with previous convention you will find the exhibition completely on the first floor, and with the added interest of locating The Four Horsemen in the Ziff Gallery (see image above) and Matt Stokes ' These are the days' in the dramatically painted lecture theatre
