Material Worlds: Contemporary Artists And Textiles

9 Oct 2024 - 15 Dec 2024 View Venues, Dates & Times

Hayward Gallery Touring’s new exhibition explores how simple everyday materials are being used to surprise and provoke, ‘creating worlds and telling stories ranging from the personal to the cosmic’. 
Speaking about the show, its curator, Caroline Achaintre, said: “I wanted the exhibition to emphasise the transition from something quite everyday, domestic and supposedly unspectacular, into the creation of fantastical and extraordinary works, worlds, and visions. 
“It has been an enriching experience to encounter such a diverse realm of artists and to create this exhibition, which features pieces by both upcoming and established artists from different generations.”
