Saatchi Yates Studio Iron
30th April to 7th June
Saatchi Yates, 14 Bury St, London SW1Y 6AL
Saatchi Yates and Isamaya ffrench present ‘Studio Iron’, the inaugural exhibition of ffrench’s newly launched design gallery, conceived as a platform for collapsing and reconfiguring the hierarchies traditionally imposed between art, design and object. The curated group exhibition spans design, installation, sculpture and painting, bringing together works that occupy an unstable territory between function and non-function, utility and image, object and artwork. Steel and iron dominate throughout, forming a bleak post-industrial landscape of furniture, structures and fine art. For this exhibition, Gary Card presents a series of 65 figurines from the homunculus series made of Masking tape, armature wire and jesmonite.
