FIONA BANNER:HARRIER AND JAGUAR

Tate Britain Duveens Commission 2010

Until 3 January 2011

Tate Britain has unveiled its new Duveens Commission, Harrier and Jaguar, by Fiona Banner.

Banner's largest work to date, Harrier and Jaguar brings the highly-charged physicality of two real fighter jets, both recently in active military service, into the unexpected setting of the neoclassical Duveen Galleries.

Press coverage:

"Banner's Harrier and Jaguar has upped the ante both of her own art, and of the Duveens commissions. This is more than a familiar transposition of two readymade objects from the hangar or the war zone into Tate Britain's neoclassical galleries. It is a timely and well-placed work, which enters into a dialogue not just with the decorum of its architecture, but also with space." - Adrian Searle, The Guardian, 28/6/2010
