Richard Tuttle: I Dont Know. The Weave of Textile Language

Whitechapel Gallery

14 October – 14 December 2014

North American sculptor Richard Tuttle fuses sculpture, painting and poetry. With the focus on his use of textiles with colours mutating as they seep through cloth; canvas becomes geometric abstraction. Even sprockets, wires and stitching are part of his lyrical visual structure. Tuttle also choreographs us – we might stub our toe on an object nestling against the wall or be arrested by a construction’s ascent into space.

This exhibition at Whitechapel Gallery is presented in conjunction with a major installation in Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall from 14 October 2014 to 6 April 2015.
