British artist Alex Hartley has created a striking installation in the garden of London’s Victoria Miro Gallery, resembling an abandoned modernist residence.
An extension of the artist’s After You Left exhibition in the main gallery space, the installation takes inspiration from Modernist pioneers including Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier, and examines ideas of entropy, decay and the beauty of ruins.
A series of photographs taken by Hartley of modernist buildings in California are displayed in the main gallery space, alongside a number of architectural fragments which correspond to the installation outside.
