Audio Description: Art and Alcohol

15 February 2016 at 11.00–12.00

Gilbert & George, Balls: The Evening Before the Morning After - Drinking Sculpture 1972. Tate. © Gilbert and George.

Join us for an audio described tour of the Display 'Art & Alcohol'.

Since William Hogarth satirised the Georgian craze for gin, artists have explored Britain’s relationship with alcohol – as social lubricant, or as factor in social or family breakdown. This fascinating display examines the role of alcohol in British art from the 19th century to modern day.

This tour is led by Anna Murray and Luisa Ulyett. The talk will take place seated in the gallery with trained picture describers giving a detailed and fascinating description of the works. Sighted companions and guide dogs are welcome.

If you have any other access needs that you would like to let us know about please contact: Anna Murray, Assistant Curator: Access anna.murray@tate.org.uk or call +44 (0)20 7887 8888
