As an art historian and curator, she is known for her work on sculpture and British art and has curated and published widely. Her exhibitions include Bill Brandt | Henry Moore (2020), shortlisted for the Paris Photo/Aperture Award, and Things of Beauty Growing (2017). Most recently she curated the first North American museum exhibition of Tracey Emin’s paintings and a major retrospective of Hew Locke.
Alex and Johnny Turnbull are musicians, producers, and co-founders of Ronin. Both were members of the experimental group 23 Skidoo, and Alex later co-directed Beyond Time, a documentary on the life and work of William Turnbull. Based in London, the brothers now manage the estates of their parents, William Turnbull and Kim Lim.
