Fiona Banner: Tate Britain Duveens Commission 2010 & The Naked Ear,

I viewed two of Fiona Banner’s powerful exhibitions in a day.
First exhibition was Tate Britain Duveens Commission 2010. Banner places recently decommissioned fighter planes. For Banner these objects represent the 'opposite of language', used when communication fails.






The other exhibition was The Naked Ear at Frith Street Gallery









In this exhibition the artist looks at how we mythologize history, and our willingness to be seduced by those myths.


Fiona Banner (born 1966) is an English artist, who was short-listed for the Turner Prize in 2002. In 2010, She is one of the Young British Artists.
