Millbank Tower is located beside the River Thames, opposite MI6, with Tate Britain to the right and Westminster within walking distance to the left. The second floor of Millbank Tower, a Grade 2 listed building designed by Ronald Ward, will be infiltrated with conceptual art from 1 – 5 November 2023. The building, formerly the office of the United Nations, and the Labour and Conservative political parties, still appears as a gatekeeper and mystery space where secret government decisions were made. The exhibition will present a site-embedded political space – that formulates a critique on institutional power structures.
The group show will present varying artistic positions that dismantle and question the role of borders, security and economic policies, power and class systems, the consequences of societal norms and human-made conditions – starting from the history and political topicality of the space itself, Millbank Tower.
