WHEN FORMS COME ALIVE | Sixty Years of Restless Sculpture | Hayward Gallery

When Forms Come Alive brings together sculptures inspired by movement, fluidity and growth. Many of the 21 artists in this exhibition draw on irregular forms found in nature. In place of the solidity and permanence of traditional sculpture, their work embodies a spirit of change and transformation.
Whether they appear to be oozing, undulating, cascading or promiscuously proliferating, these sculptures seem uncannily animated. In the words of one artist. they are 'twitching with life.'
The sensuous textures and surprising physical qualities of the works in this exhibition invite us to look with a tactile gaze, as if our eyes could touch and feel directly. In an era when our encounters are increasingly digitised and disembodied, these artists return us to an active exploration of the tangible forms around us. Often seeing their work as a collaboration with different materials and processes, they remind us that everything in the world is always moving, seething, transforming.
