ONLINE: Langlands & Bell: Degrees of Truth
A major solo exhibition at Sir John Soane's Museum by the artists Ben Langlands and Nikki Bell. New works specially commissioned for the exhibition and works borrowed from public and private collections across the UK are installed across the Museum in dialogue with Sir John Soane鈥檚 collection of art, architecture and antiquities.
For over four decades, Langlands & Bell鈥檚 work has explored the complex web of relationships linking people and architecture and the coded systems of communication and exchange we use to negotiate a fast changing technological world. Their art ranges from film, video and digital media projects to sculpture, installation, and full-scale architecture.
From the found objects gathered in the early 1980s from the rubble and detritus of Whitechapel, to the slick hyper-determined buildings of the tech giants of Silicon Valley, the exhibition explores the disconnects that exist between the ideas and narratives that buildings, objects and images are intended to convey and those they inadvertently reveal or which are acquired over time.
