SUNLIGHT: Roger Ackling
SUNLIGHT is the first major survey of the work of British artist Roger Ackling (1947-2014) and the most significant exhibition of his work to date. For 50 years, Ackling consistently made objects by burning wood - focussing sunlight through the lens of a hand-held magnifying glass to scorch repeated patterns of lines on the surface. SUNLIGHT will introduce Ackling's work to a new generation of audiences, prompting important conversations about the status of the object, the significance of material, the processes of making and the transformative power of display. The exhibition is developed in partnership with the Artist's Estate, Annely Juda Fine Art, the Henry Moore Institute and the Pier Arts Centre, and is supported by Norfolk Museums Service, Arts Council England, The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Norwich City Council, Norfolk County Council, East Anglia Art Fund, Henry Moore Foundation, Norwich University of the Arts and Art Fund.
