Langlands & Bell: Ideas of Utopia
An exhibition spotlighting over 40 years of work by the BAFTA award-winning and Turner Prize-shortlisted artist duo, Langlands & Bell.
鈥楲anglands & Bell: Ideas of Utopia鈥� presents artworks which examine attempts 鈥� knowing and unknowing 鈥� to create utopias whether domestic, religious, social or commercial. The exhibition also considers Charleston as an important place of early modernist social experimentation and questions a building鈥檚 power to unite us, separate us, protect us, and inspire thought and creativity.
Ben Langlands and Nikki Bell鈥檚 ongoing partnership began in 1978 while they were still at art school. They have been working together ever since using a range of media including film and video, digital media projects, sculpture, installation, prints, and architecture.
Langlands & Bell鈥檚 work explores the social, cultural and geographical relationship we have with buildings, objects and systems of communication. Central to their practice is an enduring interrogation of the ever-changing role of architecture, interiors, technology and design.
