Parasol Unit, 14 Wharf Road, Islington, N1 7RW
How Much:
Free!
In 2002 contemporary artist Keith Tyson was nominated for the Turner Prize and achieved notoriety when the then Culture Minister Kim Howells left a note deriding his work as 'cold mechanical, conceptual bullshit'.
Tyson's work may indeed be cold, mechanical and conceptual, but, judging from this exhibition at Parasol Unit, it's hard to see why that might be in any way a bad thing.
Rather than a survey per se, this show takes the form of an exploration of Tyson's work. On display are paintings and sculptures that not only display Tyson's fascination with mechanics and technology but also an appreciation of the natural and more organic aspects of our world.
Until 11.11.09.
