Discover this new Tate acquisition by Turner Prize winner Martin Boyce

Join us for an audio description tour of Glasgow-based artist Martin Boyce’s installation DO WORDS HAVE VOICES. Interested in the physical and psychological experience of the built environment, this display brings together architecture and nature. Boyce’s installations often explore the modern urban landscape, particularly with reference to twentieth century modernist design, and its connections to utopian notions of living.

This tour is led by Sam McGuire and takes place seated in the gallery. This tour includes some touch elements. Sighted companions and guide dogs are welcome. Please meet in the Manton Studio from 10.30 for tea and cake.

If you have any other access needs that you would like to let us know about please contact: Anna Murray, Assistant Curator: Access anna.murray@tate.org.uk or call +44 (0)20 7887 8888
