Passing Thoughts and Making Plans

4 Nov-13 Dec 2009

Overview

The exhibition brings together artists who use photography as part of their thought process; as a tool for working out, following and shaping ideas that will develop into a finished work. Passing thoughts and making plans features previously unseen work from internationally renowned artists Tacita Dean, Jeremy Deller, Sarah Jones, Alex Katz, Sharon Lockhart, Cornelia Parker, Richard Wentworth and Rachel Whiteread. This exhibition looks into the role of photography in each of the artists’ practice and aims to give visitors a deeper understanding of the process of making work, through having a rare glimpse of the preparatory work behind a finished piece.
