UNIT9 Project Space is pleased to announce an exhibition of new sculptures by Thomas Hutton.
About
The exhibition will continue Hutton’s exploration of the effects that the flattened digital aspect are having on our experience of built space and its surfaces. The sculptures will interfere and intertwine with their enveloping architecture. The space’s lighting and temperature will be altered. The sculptures will be accompanied by a set of Notes that underscore some material and conceptual considerations relating to the works.
Thomas Hutton (b. London, 1983) lives in Athens. He has an MFA in sculpture from Yale University (2012) and an MA in Architectural History from The University of Edinburgh (2006). He has had recent solo exhibitions at Sushi Bar Gallery, NYC (2016) and Hunter / Whitfield, London (2015) and has been included in the group exhibitions Maybe your lens is scratched?, The Averard Hotel, London (2016), Report from the Club of Rome, Virginia Commonwealth University (2016), and Conversation Piece Part I, Fondazione Memmo, Rome (2015).
