Fred Sandback
Exhibition 18 March – 14 May 2006
This exhibition is the first time any of the extraordinary work of prominent American artist Fred Sandback (1943—2003) has been seen in Scotland, and offers a rare opportunity to engage with the particularity of his vision.
Fred Sandback is best known for work that uses coloured yarn to trace imaginary planes in space. He came to prominence during
the heyday of American Minimalism, and developed a body of work that is both informed by a signature style and, because of the close interdependence of each piece with the architecture of its location, always different at every showing. His sculpture is intimately concerned with space, with an individual’s understanding of being in a particular space, and the ways in which interventions into the space might alter and extend this understanding.
