Grayson's Art Club

Grayson Perry to explore Englishness for new Channel 4 travelogue

Grayson Perry: This England (working title) will see the artist search for objects, art, design, fashion, pop culture pieces, personal mementos, family heirlooms and memorabilia to help him create his own interpretation of what it means to be English.

Perry will collect these objects from the people he meets along the way, before displaying them in an exhibition at a prestigious gallery alongside his own works of art.

Grayson Perry says the inspiration for the series came from "all the talk about identity these days."
