H is for The Hayward Gallery @ The Southbank Centre

"Envelops visitors in a mesh of threads that echoes the complexity and nuance of life itself" – The Wick

Join us at the Hayward Gallery for a double exhibition featuring large-scale installations of immersive and emotive works: Chiharu Shiota/Threads of Life and Yin Xiuzhen/Heart to Heart

Chiharu Shiota is best-known for her large-scale installations which engulf ordinary objects – such as shoes, keys, beds, chairs and dresses – within huge web structures made from woollen thread.
The resulting works are immersive and deeply emotive, often drawing from personal experience, which Shiota expands into universal human concerns such as life, death and relationships.

Yin Xiuzhen is renowned for her use of secondhand clothing, concrete, food and household ephemera in her immersive installations and sculptures.
She creates multimedia artworks that negotiate the spaces between memories, individuals and the globalised societies that we live in today.
