After Dark
Date: 3 May 2018
Space: Gallery 4

After Dark was a live broadcast event that hosted six artists in conversation, paying homage to the TV series After Dark, a late-night discussion programme broadcast between 1987 and 1997. After Dark played with the museum institution, the public and the private and how our spaces are informed by the conversations within them.
