Artists’ collections re-open at Stephen Lawrence Gallery
The Eagle Document: The New Collection of Enumerated Things is an exhibition of artists' collections. It explores how the collection can both be used as a resource as well as being art in its own right.
Artists represented include Neil Chapman, Jo Mitchell, Ruth Maclennan, Gail Pickering and the curator, Monika Oechsler. The exhibition also presents works from the Chelsea School of Art Library Special Collection, including Fly (pictured), a multiple by avant-garde artist Yoko-Ono.
The exhibition extends from the gallery space into the building’s historical Jacobean Undercroft. Artist Bernd Behr, creator of the futuristic and alien-like Quasicrystal Compass, on show in the Undercroft, says: “It is great to place work in a historical context, my piece relates to recent 20th century architectural history and I like the contrast between this and the Jacobean setting.”
The exhibition will re-open on Monday, 27 July. It will run from 10am-5pm Monday to Friday and 11am-4pm on Saturdays. Entry to the Gallery is free.
