A Nottingham uni graduate is returning to the city with a major exhibition at the New Art Exchange.

Keith Piper’s show Unearthing the Banker’s Bones is a major exhibition and the most substantial presentation of his work for two decades.

It goes on display at the New Art Exchnage in Hyson Green on Saturday April 1 until Sunday June 11 and is made up of videos, paintings, sculptures and digital drawings.

Keith Piper said: “I came to Nottingham in 1980 as Trent Polytechnic’s art course supported my mixed media way of working.

“The end of year show was my first time of using film and my first experiment in working in that space in between sculpture and media.”

The centrepiece of the exhibition is a new three-screen video installation set in an apocalyptic science fiction landscape.

It is told through the perspective of someone living in the future and excavating our present.
