A solo presentation of influential New York-based artist Mary Heilmann. Born in California in 1940, Heilmann studied ceramics and poetry before moving to New York in 1968 and taking up painting. Her vibrantly coloured, abstract canvases reference popular culture, particular places and personal experiences with a good dose of humour.

21 September 2016 – 15 January 2017
A presentation of recent work by artist William Kentridge. The son of two liberal lawyers, Kentridge grew up in apartheid South Africa. As a draughtsman, Kentridge repeatedly erases and reworks his charcoal drawings to create stop-animation films. We’ll present a series of his large-scale installations that fuse both elements.

Artist and award-winning poet Heather Phillipson will create a new installation reflecting on her time as the Gallery’s Writer in Residence in 2015. Through video, music, sculpture and live and recorded speech, Phillipson’s work turns the heart into a mass produced machine, a hybrid between the digital and the biological.
