🧡 ‘I am inspired by sculpture that conveys an element of spectacle… when it isn’t immediately clear how the piece was made or what it is made from’

Friends were fortunate to be invited to attend the talk at this phenomenal exhibition.

These Mad Hybrids: John Hoyland and Contemporary Sculpture

3 February - 12 May 2024

The exhibition positions a group of ceramic sculptures made by abstract painter John Hoyland RA in dialogue with a spectacular, international, assembly of contemporary sculpture by artists including Phyllida Barlow and Hew Locke. A display of paintings by Hoyland shows the dynamic connection between his sculptures and paintings. 

Curated by sculptor Olivia Bax in collaboration with Sam Cornish and Wiz Patterson Kelly of The John Hoyland Estate, the exhibition is inspired by a group of unique ceramic sculptures by Hoyland, which he affectionately called his "mad little hybrids." This is the first public display of the ceramics since 1994, and their first presentation alongside Hoyland's abstract paintings from the 1960s to 2010s.

2024 ~ Guest Curators

In order to diversify and expand the scope of exhibitions at That Art Gallery and to give me more time to work on external projects - I’m inviting proposals from ‘Guest Curators’ to exhibit and be scheduled alongside my own programme in 2024. In weekly or longer periods, there will be an upfront fee and a small % of sales requested.
Please contact the gallery (link above) for more details. Remember to supply links to relevant websites/social media and provide an outline of the exhibition you have in mind.

☝🏼

If I believe a proposal doesn’t fit with the existing programme of exhibitions then it may not be shortlisted for inclusion. I apologise in advance to anybody who feels this is unfair? Rejection is not something I enjoy and is primarily why I’ve avoided this form of diversification in the past, but it’s a harsh reality of life. It doesn’t mean what you make, create or want to pursue is in anyway substandard just because I don’t think it’s right for That Art Gallery.
