> INFO:
> London-based Polish artist Goshka Macuga is widely acclaimed for her  
> sculptural installations of artefacts and photographs, derived from  
> art history, politics and anthropology. The artist focuses on a key  
> moment in the history of the Whitechapel Gallery: the presentation  
> of Picasso’s Guernica in 1939.
>
> Organised in collaboration with the Stepney Trade Union Council in  
> east London to raise awareness of the Spanish Civil War, the  
> suggested price of entry was a pair of boots, left underneath the  
> work, to be sent to the Republicans in Spain. Forming the  
> centrepiece of Macuga’s installation is a life-size tapestry of  
> Guernica.
>
> Commissioned by Nelson Rockefeller in 1955 it was created, in  
> collaboration with Picasso, by weaver Jacqueline de la Baume  
> Dürrbach, of the great Dürrbach Atelier in Paris. In 1985, Mrs  
> Nelson Rockefeller lent the tapestry to the United Nations  
> Headquarters in New York in memory of her husband who was present at  
> the founding of the organisation, to offer a deterrent to war. It  
> has hung ever since outside the United Nations Security Council.
>
> Macuga’s project draws connections across historic and contemporary  
> world affairs, their protagonists and the cultural ripple effects  
> they have triggered. The room has been designed to accommodate  
> meetings, discussions and debates around a central table, with  
> Guernica once again as a backdrop. Groups are invited to organise  
> these events free of charge. Please contact guernica at whitechapelgallery.org 
>  for advance booking.
>
> Supported by:
> The Bloomberg Commission invites an international artist to create  
> an annual site-specific artwork inspired by the rich history of the  
> former library. Bloomberg’s support reflects its commitment to  
> innovation, and its ongoing efforts to expand access to art, science  
> and the humanities. Additional support provided by the Adam  
> Mickiewicz Institute, as part of POLSKA! YEAR, the Henry Moore  
> Foundation, the Polish Cultural Institute, and the Wingate  
> Scholarships. With thanks to Kate MacGarry. Goshka Macuga is the  
> Wingate Artist-in-Residence at the Whitechapel Gallery.
