Strange Days and Some Flowers will be opened by Caroline Collier, director of Tate National on July 11 and it runs until October 3.

It includes work by Dan Baldwin, Don Brown, Laura Ford, Matthew Houlding, Robin Mason, Jock Mooney, Mika Rottenberg, John Stark and a new commission by Graham Hudson.

Strange Days and Some Flowers provides a rare opportunity to revisit childhood worlds where we might have imagined walking around on the ceiling; where beasties lurked in place of our jumpers, where up was down and grass looked a little bit like our shoelaces.

We could disassociate ourselves from reality, we saw the world from impossible angles, disorientated and surreal, but also playful, exciting and constantly shifting.

There is no 'theme', no curatorial thread, and no sheet of A4 'interpretation' to help visitors navigate through the space in a linear, formal manner.

Instead you are invited into Graham Hudson's partially occluding maze of scaffolding poles, catching a frustrating glimpse of John Stark's spooky beekeepers, metres away but not quite reachable.

Several slightly disorientating minutes later, visitors will share an intimate booth of steel with a couple of Don Brown's alluring Yokos, one shrouded, another stood elegantly and proud in her pants, vest and platform shoes.

In the considerably sparser second gallery, Mika Rottenberg's Tropical Breeze plunges visitors into a unique world of sweat, transportation and the odd naked man in running shoes.

Strange Days and Some Flowers promises a jumble of the funny, the disturbing and the outright bizarre.
