The exhibition at Golden Square brings together new works on slate and glass, an edition of prints as well as the first showing of a 39-minute 16mm film.
The title Black, Grey, Green and White is from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and is taken from the artist’s copy of A Complete Concordance to Shakespeare, which she often uses to title her drawings on slate. The colours symbolise the play’s contrasting worlds and resonated with her in the context of the exhibition due to the hues of the different surfaces she is currently using.
Tacita Dean has been drawing on found, grey school slates for over a decade, but was recently given some that had been painted green (from the era when that colour was considered to be gentler on the eye). The paint had oxidised, creating a febrile powdery surface, which necessitated a change of approach to how it could be worked with.
On display at Soho Square from 24 September is Because my secret is my duty – a collaborative exhibition of photographs taken by Boris and Vita Mikhailov, Mathew Hale and Tacita Dean made during and after the filming of If I were in the Adlon (2025).
