At Altitude

At Altitude charts how technological advances and new methods of observation have 

transformed our experience of Earth, and inspired artists, over the past 250 years. The exhibition opens with A Circular View from the Balloon at its Greatest Elevation, a drawing of Chester made in 1785 that’s considered one of the first ever “real” aerial views. It then fast-forwards to early aviation photography, Google Earth and modern-day drone warfare, featuring painting, drawing, sculpture, photography and film by artists including Tacita Dean RA, Charles and Ray Eames, Kabir Hussain, Wolfgang Tillmans RA and Omer Fast.
