Announcing Ingrid Pollard: Carbon Slowly Turning
We are delighted to announce our next major exhibition, Ingrid Pollard: Carbon Slowly Turning.
Ingrid Pollard (born Georgetown, Guyana) is one of the leading figures in contemporary British art. This first major survey of her 40-year career includes delicately hand-tinted landscape photographs, a flotilla of small ceramic boats and a cast of protagonists that includes boxers, musicians, tango dancers and writers. The exhibition also includes two new works – a film that meditates on the human body as it moves through space and time, and a triptych of monumental, dynamic sculptures that reference our shared history of power relations and resurgence.
Winner of the Freelands Award 2020. Exhibition supported by Freelands Foundation.
Supported by a Publications Grant from the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art and the Association for Art History. An Exhibition Organised by MK Gallery in partnership with Turner Contemporary
