United Enemies looks at sculpture made by artists in Britain during the 1960s and 1970s, a time when the idea of sculpture was being radically contested.
Curator Jon Wood looks at this highly fertile and experimental period, focusing on the dramatic changes in our understanding of the medium that occurred. Aside from the institutional contests and rivalries of the time, the exhibition invites us to think retrospectively about shared ideas and correspondences, as well as reconsider the differences.
