Heather Phillipson at Tate Britain

Award-winning poet and artist Heather Phillipson’s Tate Britain commission, will open Monday 17 May. ‘Rupture No 1: blowtorching the bitten peach’ will fill Tate Britain’s grand central galleries with colour, sound and motion, and will be on display until 23 January 2022. Breathing life into the space which she describes as ‘charged ecosystems, maladaptive seasons and unearthed lifeforms’, the galleries feel uneasy and are populated by salvaged machines, colossal papier-mâché sculptures, mountains of salt, bisected aircraft fuel tanks, mobile gas canisters, rotating anchors and hand-painted scenes layered with her signature digital video and sound.

With several artworks as part of the Zabludowicz Collection, Heather Phillipson is a previous Master Class guest tutor in 2017, had a solo Invites exhibition in our London space in 2013 with Through the flesh tone scenario, the imported combi-boudoir, and had a work in our pivotal exhibition, Zabludowicz Collection: 20 Years in 2015.
