In Conversation - Sophie Calle and Emma Lewis

2nd October 2026

Turner Contemporary

Join artist Sophie Calle and curator Emma Lewis for a conversation about Calle's new exhibition, Something Missing? at Turner Contemporary

7.30pm – 8.30pm (doors open at 6.45pm)

One of contemporary art's most original voices, Calle has spent five decades tackling the big questions of human experience - from love, loss and longing, to guilt, fear and embarrassment - with equal parts poetry, humour and conceptual rigour.

Sharing her insight into the series on display, and reflecting on the theme of absence, which endures in her work, this is a special opportunity to hear about Calle's practice from the artist herself.

The conversation will be followed by audience questions and an opportunity to preview the exhibition, with the bar open after the event.
