Emergence - Next Arts & Social Network event.
Tuesday, August 3, 2010 Date: Tuesday 24th August 2010
Place: Wolfgang Tillmans Exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery, Kensington Gardens, London W2 3XA
Time: 4p.m
The Serpentine Gallery presents Wolfgang Tillmans’ first major exhibition in London since 2003. Conceived by the artist for the Serpentine Gallery, the exhibition will present figurative and abstract work from the last ten years.
Over the past 20 years, Tillmans has redefined photography and the way it is presented. Known in the early 1990s for his seemingly casual images of the world he inhabited, his work reassessed photographic conventions and reflected the culture and identity politics of the time, capturing the fragility of human life and focusing on everyday objects. His work has always engaged with portraiture, landscape, and still life, but more recently Tillmans has turned to a deeper exploration of abstraction, and has pushed the boundaries and definitions of the photographic form.
The Serpentine Gallery exhibition reflects the artist’s acute sensitivity to the world around him, his ongoing fascination with colour, and his conceptual engagement with the technical processes of photography. His delicate yet challenging images capture the distinctive energetic balance between beauty and subversion that Tillmans has long embraced.
The Arts & Social Network is an opportunity for those who identify with the diagnosis of personality disorder to meet at cultural events. It is organised to give people who may be very isolated an opportunity to make new friends, and enjoy the experience of going to a cultural event with a peer group who can appreciate the difficulties of having a personality disorder.
