Group exhibition

Räume schaffen. Die Konstruktivistin Marlow Moss

Leonor Antunes, Tacita Dean, Florette Dijkstra and Ro Robertson

A show on the Constructivist Marlow Moss with contemporary responses, including Ro Robertson’s steel sculpture The Swimmer in the garden.

Each summer the museum places a temporary work in its garden. This year it is The Swimmer by Ro Robertson (b. 1984), one of three sculptures made new for the show. Robertson takes up Constructivist ideas, working in steel and welding, a nod to ancestors in Sunderland shipbuilding and heavy industry.

Like Moss, Robertson lives in far west Cornwall. Both share an interest in repetition and doubling of forms, and Robertson extends sculpture toward body and performance. Another new piece, Freeform I, was “baptised” with seawater in Lamorna Cove.
