Whoever is the sugar daddy for the unit, they surely fund some excellent shows ranging in media from sculpture to painting, installation, video, photography and even specially commissioned works. Setting a precedent for those seeking a commercially free platform for artists' work, the foundation also accepts donations in the form of artwork and other in-kind giving. /system/photos/0044/3143/parasol-unit-7retouchedyeahh_thumb.jpg 2009-03-17T22:07:47+01:00 London Art & Culture 443143 Courtesy of Parasol Unit /system/photos/0044/3143/parasol-unit-7retouchedyeahh.jpg 443553 photo by stevecadman via flickr /system/photos/0044/3553/3318061779_d0abc445ea_b.jpg 443138 Courtesy of Parasol Unit /system/photos/0044/3138/parasol-unit-4-retouched-1.jpg
