Let your eyes grow wide, your hearing sharpen and your nerves tingle as sculpture, painting, photographs, videos and prints bring your senses roaring to life. From the eye-watering op art of Bridget Riley's Nineteen Greys to the mind-bending, interactive installation of Luc Peire's Environment III, this exhibition fizzes with emotion.

Covering the period from the 1960s to the present day, Whizz Bang Pop includes new acquisitions, such as Song Dong's atmospheric photographs, A Pot of Boiling Water, alongside well-known favourites, including Ed Ruscha's hypnotic acrylic on canvas, Love Chief.

Watch as moving images flicker, lights glow fluorescent, sculptures burst into motion, artworks lift off walls, and colours explode and retreat.

Level 1
Until 6 May 2012
