This major new exhibition of British contemporary and modern art focuses on the role of language in art.
It features works by 26 artists from modern masters and senior artists, such as Ben Nicholson, David Hockney and Gibert & George to the young British generation, such as Tracey Emin, Douglas Gordon and Fiona Banner, who has been shortlisted for this year's Turner Prize.
Emin shot to fame when she exhibited her infamous bed at the Tate in 1999. Her work will be represented in this exhibition by another bed, which has been covered by a quilt embroidered with text.
Banner's The Desert covers a huge length of the gallery wall and transcribes, in the artist's words, "the eves of the film Lawrence Of Arabia".
Meanwhile, David Hockney used the idea of graffiti in his early pop-art masterpiece We Two Boys Together Clinging, 1961.
The exhibition comprises about 30 paintings, sculpture, photography, installation, sound and video.
The Gallery is open from Tuesday to Saturday, noon to 5pm, and Sunday, 2pm to 5pm. Call 01323 417961.
