An exhibition inspired by a moment usually hidden from gallery-goers – when the show ends, the doors close and the 'de-build' begins.

Brought together from New Zealand, Australia, Europe and the United States, the artists in this exhibition examine every aspect of the de-building process – from the crates art is stored in, to the paint on the walls.

Full of sculptural surprises and architectural double-takes, and including major new installations by Fiona Connor, Callum Morton and Peter Robinson, De-Building makes the gallery itself part of the art.

The artists included are: Billy Apple, Monica Bonvicini, Eddie Clemens, Susan Collis, Fiona Connor, Glen Hayward, Pierre Huyghe, Liz Larner, Gordon Matta-Clark, Callum Morton, Peter Robinson, Kay Rosen, Santiago Sierra and Rachel Whiteread.
