Tate St Ives, St Ives (Cornwall)

Richard Long
8 July 2002 - 13 October 2002

Richard Long (b.1945) has been working with natural materials in the landscape since the 1960s. Much of his work is created as a result of walks he has taken in remote and uninhabited parts of the world and is concerned with ideas about time, movement and the environment. He uses materials such as stones, sticks, seaweed, slate and wood, often arranged in simple shapes on the floor. His exhibition at Tate St Ives will include recent and new work made especially for the gallery and it will coincide with a Naum Gabo exhibition.


Naum Gabo
8 July 2002 - 13 October 2002

Naum Gabo (1890-1977) was a Russian constructivist artist, who pioneered new ways of making sculpture from plastic, glass and metals. He started making constructions in Moscow around 1915 with Pevsner, Tatlin, Kandinsky and Malevich. He came to live in Cornwall shortly after the arrival of Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth in the late 1930s and became one of the towns most influential visiting artists. He later moved to America where he lived until his death. This exhibition of his work at Tate St Ives will be a selected retrospective made up of sculptures from the Tate Gallery Collection.


Kosh Ito
8 July 2002 - 13 October 2002

Kosho Ito is renowned in Japan as an experimental artist who uses clay to create large-scale ceramic installations, using firing techniques developed for the industry. Since 1970 he has been making work based on endless variations of curved and textured shapes, which often resemble teeming, primary life forms. Represented in many important Japanese collections, this artist is showing in Britain for the first time. The exhibiton features two new works, sited in the Ceramics Showcase and Courtyard, made specially for Tate St Ives.
