Tonico Lemos Auad, Jonathan Baldock, Holly Hendry and Yinka Shonibare feature in ‘Material Worlds’
Curated by artist Caroline Achaintre, the artists in Material Worlds take the everyday, intimate and accessible qualities of textiles to create artworks that are theatrical, bold, unsettling and humorous.
The familiar, material stuff of everyday life is transformed into the unexpected - the ordinary is made extraordinary - to explore ideas of the body, identity, gender, race, heritage, myth and folklore.
The exhibition featured the work of Tonico Lemos Auad, Jonathan Baldock, Holly Hendry, Yinka Shonibare, Caroline Achaintre, Phyllida Barlow , Alexandre Da Cunha, Enam Gbewonyo, Holly Hendry, Paul Maheke, Anna Perach, Yelen Popova, Paloma Proudfoot, Rae-Yen Song and Tenant of Culture.
The Mead Gallery was the first venue for the group exhibition from Hayward Gallery Touring.
