YU has commissioned and loaned art by Irish artist Cathy Wilkes. It's an impressive undertaking by YU - Wilkes is the British contribution to the Venice Biennale and was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2008. She makes large installations including figures which would be at home on a life-size Laika set, and paints. The artist studios in the building are also open. Recommended.
