"Gallaccio's time-based works with organic materials orchestrate encounters with entropy, beauty, and the aesthetics of disappearance."
This first major survey of Anya Gallaccio in London features new commissions and reimagined early works using ice, sugar, salt, and flowers—materials chosen for their mutability. Site-specific installations respond to the Hayward's brutalist architecture, while documentation of historic pieces like preserve 'beauty' (1991) traces the YBA artist's sustained investigation into impermanence, labor, and the tension between display and decay.
