Multiple Narratives brings together works by eight gallery artists. The pieces are linked through their use of repetition, series and classification, some are narrative-driven, while others focus on visual exploration. Spanning drawing, sculpture, photography and found objects, the exhibition ranges from the minimal and abstract to the richly figurative.
Fiona Banner aka The Vanity Press’s Life Drawing Drawings (2007-13), is a group of hand-made ‘dummy’ figure drawing manuals, which reference and apparently simplify our relationship to the body. In this instance it is the books that have been drawn, not the human figure. With their blank pages they allude to drawings unmade and biographies unwritten.
The show includes Fiona Banner aka The Vanity Press, Anna Barriball, Tacita Dean, Shilpa Gupta, Cornelia Parker, Raqs Media Collective, Thomas Schütte, and Dayanita Singh.
In the lower gallery To the Dance: eight works by Nancy Spero 1926–2009 marks the centenary of Spero’s birth with a special display of eight works that exemplify the range, themes and ambition of her practice.
