Join us for a free talk by Richard Deacon!
Richard Deacon discusses his remarkable career and his constantly evolving sculptural practice, through which he explores and experiments with material and language. Since the 1980s, Deacon’s abstract forms have placed him at the forefront of British sculpture. His appetite for material has embraced laminated wood, stainless steel, corrugated iron, polycarbonate, marble, clay, vinyl, foam and leather. Deacon describes himself as a ‘fabricator’, often exposing the construction behind the finished object: glue oozing between layers of wood, or screws and rivets protruding from sheets of steel. Such transparency highlights the reactive nature of the process: it is part of a two-way conversation between artist and material that transforms the workaday into something metaphorical. The idea of ‘fabrication’ also denotes making something up, of fiction rather than truth, and this knack for wordplay surfaces in Deacon’s titles, which might establish juxtapositions or reveal new meaning from familiar sayings or clichés.
Doors open from 6:30pm. Talk from 7pm-8:30pm.
