| "Care"
Exhibition Age Exchange presents ‘Care’- a series of works by artists Tanya Kaprielian and Tim Sutton that explore the issue of care across the generations. For 6 months working alongside carers across London the artists conducted
projects and interviews with older people, carers and healthcare professionals.
These works reflect the artists’ personal experience of the project, and the emotive subject of what it is to be a carer or to be cared for. 10 October - 23 December 2009 Age Exchange Reminiscence Centre Monday - Friday 10 am - 5pm Saturday 10 am - 4 pm further tour dates & venues > [pdf file 93k]
