Tacita Dean
Patrons can enjoy a curator-led tour of Tacita Dean: LANDSCAPE at this exclusive evening preview.
In the newly opened Gabrielle Jungels-Winkler Galleries, the internationally renowned visual artist and Royal Academician Tacita Dean will explore “landscape” in its broadest sense: intimate collections of natural found objects, a mountainous blackboard drawing and a series of cloudscapes in chalk on slate created especially for these spaces will draw you into Dean’s vision.
The highlight of the exhibition will be a major new, experimental 35mm film, Antigone. This quasi-narrative film features writer and poet Anne Carson as well as actor Stephen Dillane, combining multiple places, geologies and seasons into a single cinematographic image. It is made with the same masking technique first developed by Dean for her Tate Modern Turbine Hall project FILM (2011).
