New addition to the Nottingham Trent University collection
We are delighted to unveil the latest addition to the Nottingham Trent University art collection from artist Simon Callery. Simon joined us in 2015 for his solo exhibition Soft Painting. Wiltshire Modulor (small, 2010-2013) will be on permanent display in Bonington Gallery’s foyer space.
The recent opening of our new exhibitions also marked the un-veiling of the latest addition to the NTU art collection. This joins a host of works and artefacts on display in our foyer that relate to past exhibitions and we’ll be contributing to this selection going forwards.
