launched at its new site with a major retrospective of the work of The Caravan Gallery. Is Britain Great? The Caravan Gallery UK Tour showcased the ordinary and extraordinary details of life in 21st century Britain as recorded by Portsmouth-based artists Jan Williams and Chris Teasdale.

Seduced by and suspicious of the rose-tinted tones of tourist information brochures, yet frustrated by their yawning omissions, through this show The Caravan Gallery asked the big question Is Britain Great? The artists’ infamous mustard caravan - in which they have toured the UK since 2000 - was parked inside the gallery. Photographs, surveys and artefacts all document the extraordinary travels of the Caravan Gallery, while a new commission invited viewers to take a unique tour of the city, offering an insight into the artists’ take on their own local environment.

Is Britain Great? was supported by Arts Council England, South East, PPG Design & Print and photographic production by Spectrum Photographic
