Firstsite, Colchester, Essex
One of the year's MUST-SEE exhibitions This exhibition is undoubtedly a watershed for one of the most popular, established and best-known artists in the East of England. The main exhibition hall of Firstsite is being rebuilt to reflect the psychogeography of Carter's love affair with Essex's estuarine environment, the most significant, recurring subject in his oeuvre. And this will be a huge solo exhibition -- one part retrospective, one part painted specifically for this exhibition.
