Join us at Tate Modern for a FREE visit to the Kazimir Malevich exhibition.

Malevich, an artist as influential as he was radical, cast a long shadow over the history of modern art. This, his first retrospective in thirty years and the first ever in the UK, unites works from collections in Russia, the US and Europe to tell a fascinating story of revolutionary ideals and the power of art itself.

FREE, but bookings can only be taken at the General Meeting on Tuesday 21st October.
