Expected Exhibitions

Garrett Bradley, winner of Eye Art & Film Prize

14 June – 14 September 2025

Since 2015, Eye has awarded the Eye Art & Film Prize to an artist exploring the intersection of visual art and film. In 2025, the prize’s tenth anniversary will be celebrated with a summer exhibition featuring the work of US filmmaker and visual artist Garrett Bradley, winner of the Eye Prize. Work by the Oscar-nominated Bradley also features in the accompanying film programme, which spans feature films, documentaries and experimental genres. Her work addresses themes such as memory, race, class, family relationships, social justice and the socio-political history of the United States.

Tilda Swinton

From 26 September 2025

For Eye, the iconic British actor Tilda Swinton is making an exclusive, immersive exhibition featuring new works. This exhibition will explore her autobiography, using as a starting point the artistic collaborations that have been integral to her career. Swinton pushes the boundaries of the sometimes limited role of the actor, inviting visitors on a sensory journey that celebrates co-creation, the synergy between director and actor, and the influence of various art forms. This project pays tribute to the spirit of ‘renewal through connectivity’ that has defined Swinton’s remarkable career.

The Eye cinemas will screen a selection of short and feature-length films in which Swinton plays a leading role. Additionally, the programme will reexamine the work of Derek Jarman, who was pivotal to Swinton’s artistic development, and Joanna Hogg, a childhood friend with whom she has recently collaborated. The selection will also include masterclasses and ‘Eye on Art’ performances exploring her collaborations with Derek Jarman, Pedro Almodóvar and Apichatpong Weerasethakul, focusing on the dynamic between actor and director in collective artistic processes.
