Between Bridges
In April 2006, Tillmans opened the non-profit exhibition space Between Bridges in the ground floor of his Bethnal Green studio with works from the New York artist and activist David Wojnarowicz. In this small gallery he has developed a program of exhibitions with political art from other artists who he believes have not been given the proper attention they deserve, specifically in London. Previous exhibitions include Isa Genzken, Jenny Holzer, the films of Len Lye and the photographs from the Center for Land Use Interpretation.

Famous quotes containing the word bridges:
“If the Revolution has the right to destroy bridges and art monuments whenever necessary, it will stop still less from laying its hand on any tendency in art which, no matter how great its achievement in form, threatens to disintegrate the revolutionary environment or to arouse the internal forces of the Revolution, that is, the proletariat, the peasantry and the intelligentsia, to a hostile opposition to one another. Our standard is, clearly, political, imperative and intolerant.”
—Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
“Awake! the land is scattered with light, and see,
Uncanopied sleep is flying from field and tree:”
—Robert Bridges (1844–1930)
