Modern Two is home to 'The Stairwell Project', a large- scale, permanent work by 2009 Turner Prize- winner Richard Wright. Comprising several thousand individually hand-painted forms, the piece is one of Wright’s most complex and ambitious works to date in the world. Modern Two is also home to a detailed recreation of Eduard Paolozzi's studio on permanent display. Paolozzi's towering sculpture, 'Vulcan', dominates Paolozzi's Kitchen, our café named after the artist.
