IFFR is thrilled to announce an art programme that entices audiences to experience genre-defying works in Rotterdam. Art Directions proudly presents\u00a0Sunshine State<\/a>, a Steve McQueen installation commissioned by IFFR and made possible in collaboration with the Kunsthal Rotterdam. For the first new installation since his major commission\u00a0Year 3<\/em>\u00a0at Tate Britain in 2020, and following a pivotal retrospective at Tate Modern in 2020, the celebrated filmmaker and visual artist will infuse the expansive, central space of Rotterdam\u2019s distinctive Kunsthal with sound and image. The installation will open to the public on Thursday 27 January and run until Sunday 13 February. Sunshine State by Steve McQueen was made possible thanks to the support of the municipality of Rotterdam\u2019s Evenementenfonds and Rotterdam Festivals.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
