HANY ARMANIOUS: STONE SOUP

Hany Armanious: Stone Soup is the fourth exhibition in the series at Buxton Contemporary that focuses on an artist from the Buxton Collection. Building on the exhibition of the same name recently shown at the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, this major solo exhibition will include works from throughout Armanious’ career including new and recent works. Encompassing the entire museum, this exhibition will be accompanied by a publication jointly produced with the Henry Moore Institute.

Hany Armanious, one of Australia’s leading artists, playfully lays bare the fundamental decisions and processes of making and presenting sculpture. His sculpture practice reflects upon the joys of beholding objects for the very first time while unraveling any certainty of knowing the world through its things. His relentless enquiry into form is also a negotiation with the innovations and legacies of art history.

 

Guest curated by Laurence Sillars, Director of the Henry Moore Institute in collaboration with Samantha Comte, Head Curator and Charlotte Day, Director, Art Museums.
