David Hockney: Beneath the Surface

Wed 1 July - Wed 30 September

MODO

MODO presents Beneath the Surface, a major summer exhibition celebrating the life and work of David Hockney through his iconic swimming pool images, while exploring the enduring questions of perception, perspective, and ways of seeing that defined his career.

Opening on 1 July and running throughout the summer in Cambridge, the exhibition places Hockney's iconic swimming pool works at the centre of a new immersive and interactive gallery experience.

Alongside The Arrival of Spring in Normandy, visitors will encounter a playful and contemporary environment inspired by one of the most recognisable themes within Hockney's practice. Through installation, atmosphere and unexpected moments of discovery, Beneath the Surface invites visitors to look again at works that have become part of our collective visual culture.

While many details of the exhibition remain under wraps, Beneath the Surface promises an engaging and distinctive experience that combines art, perception, and participation in a uniquely MODO format.

Selected timed ticketed sessions are available. Funds raised through these sessions will support the work of Art and Culture Education CIC (ACE CIC), the educational organisation founded to challenge the systemic marginalisation of art within education and to champion art as a vital form of human thinking, perception, and innovation.

Developed by the team at MODO in collaboration with ACE CIC, the exhibition continues the gallery's commitment to creating accessible, thought-provoking experiences around art, perception, and contemporary culture.

Cost: £27.80
