Inside Job – Tate Staff Biennale

The show aims to celebrate with both colleagues and visitors the diversity of creativity happening across Tate. Representation in the show was encouraged from all departments and divisions of the organisation, and includes a range of mediums such as painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, film, installation, performance and mixed media.
