It's Open !. After almost four years of construction work and a spend of £19.39M the Nottingham Contemporary is finally finished and open to the public. Originally The Centre for Modern Art, it then become known as CCAN - 'Centre for Contemporary Art , Nottingham', but now the preferred title is just 'Nottingham Contemporary', and it's aim is to become a regional centre of international standing for the display of visual and live contemporary art. The architects for this development are the London firm of Caruso St. John Architects and building works were undertaken by SOL Construction Limited of Colwick, Nottingham. The gallery opened over the weekend of 14th / 15th November with exhibitions of the works of David Hockney and Frances Stark.

The
location
of
this
gallery
on
the
fringe
of
the
historic
Lace
Market
area
provoked
considerable
controversy
and
my
own
strong
views
against
it
have
been
well
documented
in
the
local
press
and
on
this
site.
Whilst
these
remain
unchanged,
I
have
previously
paid
tribute
to
the
feat
civil
engineering
that
went
into
the
ground
works
of
this
difficult
site.
Now
that
the
building
is
complete
I
will
also
concede
that
from
certain
angles
(Setting
aside
the
inappropriate
location),
this
very
modern
building
does
have
certain
appealing
architectural
qualities,
though
these
are
by
no
means
universal
and
totally
absent
from
the
most
important
elevations
as
seen
from
the
top
of
Middle
Pavement. |
