From a one-man summer show to an incredible autumn group exhibition,
tornados, planes set on fire and chance outcomes all feature in Risk at
Turner Contemporary. This is the first UK exhibition to explore the relationship
between risk and art and will go on display from October 2015 until January
2016.

element of key artistic moments during the last century,
