About this Event
Join us to celebrate the opening of our Autumn exhibition, Beverly Buchanan: Weathering.
Discover the largest European survey exhibition of Beverly Buchanan (b.1940; d.2015), bringing together five decades of sculpture, painting, drawing, earthworks, artists’ books and rarely-seen archival material. Rooted in the landscapes and histories of the American Southeast, Buchanan developed a singular practice shaped by memory, materiality and place, exploring the enduring legacies of slavery through the histories embedded in architecture, landscape and everyday materials.
Further programme to be announced.
