Jac Leirner : Hardware Silk

17 May-6 Jul 2013

Overview

This will be the first solo exhibition in London by Brazilian artist Jac Leirner, whose participation in dOCUMENTA (IX) in 1992 marked her as one of Latin America's leading conceptual artists. The title ‘Hardware Silk’ derives from Leirner’s obsessive accumulation of ordinary ‘found’ objects and ready-mades that become materials for her art. The show will include sculptural wall reliefs, a group of watercolours and a single, 19 metre-long installation that divides the lower-ground floor gallery.
