Essentials is a new series presenting iconic and influential films by artists. The six themed programmes will launch a national tour of classic works that have blazed a trail through the visual arts, fashion, music and design influencing countless artists and films throughout the last century. Collected together under broad themes the programmes propose distinct new ways of looking at the past century, ranging from politics to pop. Drawing on a wide range of practices from across the world the Essentials programmes offer revelatory and ground-breaking works.
