In an unprecedented collaboration, three major London galleries - the National Portrait Gallery, Royal Academy of Arts, and National Gallery - will open three distinct exhibitions of work by artist Tacita Dean (b.1965). |
The three exhibitions, shaped by Dean’s response to the individual character of each institution, will explore genres traditionally associated with painting seen through the contemporary prism of Dean’s wide-ranging artistic practice. |
Tacita Dean: PORTRAIT at the National Portrait Gallery will focus on portraiture primarily through the medium of 16mm film, revealing the artist’s own longstanding and personal interest in portraiture as a genre. |
Tacita Dean: LANDSCAPE at the Royal Academy of Arts will explore landscape in its broadest sense, from botany to cosmography, travel to weather. |
Tacita Dean: STILL LIFE at the National Gallery will present an innovative exploration of the genre through Dean’s lens as one of its leading contemporary practitioners. |
