The Tanks, at Tate Modern in London, runs from September 18-23, in a setting designed by him and featuring a large, dioramic screen. A live performance of The Tanks takes place on September 21, featuring projections, live music and live performances.
Brighton Museum is also planning a retrospective exhibition next month, titled Shoot the Wrx: Filmmaker and Artist Jeff Keen. It will run from October 27 until February 25.
