In Conversation
To mark the occasion of the late British artist Phyllida Barlow’s major retrospective Phyllida Barlow. unscripted at Hauser & Wirth Somerset, two of the UK’s leading curators – Frances Morris, curator of ‘unscripted’ and former Director of Tate Modern, and Fiona Bradley, Director of The Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh and curator of Barlow’s 2015 exhibition ‘set’ – join forces to explore Barlow’s ground-breaking and influential work.
For almost 60 years, Barlow took inspiration from her surroundings to create large-scale yet anti-monumental sculptures from inexpensive, low-grade materials such as cardboard, fabric, plywood, polystyrene, scrim, plaster and cement, with Morris describing Barlow’s work as being ‘…embedded in a particular way of looking, and that way of looking being bound into a particular kind of literature…’ ,
Join us to explore the unique material language of Phyllida Barlow’s work and to celebrate her astonishing creative legacy.
A selection of Hauser & Wirth publications on Phyllida Barlow’s work will be available for sale in the Fife Arms shop.
The exhibition Phyllida Barlow. unscripted runs until 5 January 2025 at Hauser & Wirth Somerset.
