Le Meridien and Tate Launch Film Series

‘Unlock Art’ is a new series of short films offering an introduction to the world of art.

Created by Tate in partnership with Le Méridien Hotels & Resorts, Unlock Art will feature eight short films that put art under the spotlight.

Topics range from the history of the nude to humour, performance to pop art, presenting all the need-to-know facts. The film series was conceived to make visual art more accessible to a wider audience.
