runs from 6th September to 19th December 2008.

Artists in the exhibition include John M Armleder, Dan Attoe, Olafur Eliasson, Tracey Emin and Jason Rhoades.

The Frank Cohen Collection is one of the largest and most contemporary collections of art in the UK. It contains artworks by the stars of the artworld alongside the young cutting edge.

Initial Access is 10,000 sq feet of exhibition space converted from two industrial 'sheds' into a light and spacious gallery in which you can see works from the Frank Cohen Collection in three exhibitions a year curated by David Thorp.

The Frank Cohen Collection is going on public view with the aim of showing the general public and art lovers throughout the UK and abroad, the range and depth of the Collection. The Initial Access exhibition programme complements the thriving contemporary art scene in the region and brings something unique to it - the very latest developments in contemporary art in the context of one man's vision.
