A place that exists only in moonlight: Katie Paterson & JMW Turner

If you get a chance, go and visit the latest Turner Contemporary exhibition in lovely Margate.  A place that exists only in moonlight explores our desire to "see the un-seeable, to know the un-knowable". Scottish artist Katie Paterson pairs some of her existing work with new commissions and Ideas - artworks to exist in the imagination - interspersed with a group of watercolours by JMW Turner, who spent many years on the Kent coast capturing its magnificent skies.

“Katie Paterson is an astronomical artist – in the fullest sense of the word. The sky is not the limit for her. It is the beginning.” Kate Kellaway, the Observer.

Paterson is currently working on her most ambitious project to date. Future Library, 2014 – 2114, has seen her plant 1000 trees in a forest near Oslo which will supply the paper for an anthology of books, one century from now. A new text will be written each year by a different author, kept in trust and not read by anyone until 2114, when the library is complete.

Runs until May 6th 2019, for more information; https://www.turnercontemporary.org/exhibitions/katie-paterson-and-jmw-turner
