SWOON
'THE LIFE OF THE WORK'
There are artists who make work, and there are artists whose work makes things happen — in communities, in institutions, in the way people understand what art is for. Caledonia Curry, known as Swoon, is the second kind. From the walls of Brooklyn to the permanent collections of MoMA, the Brooklyn Museum, and Tate Modern, she has spent over two decades building one of the most distinctive and humane practices in contemporary art. 'The Life of the Work' is the first major survey of that practice ever presented in the United Kingdom — thirty-six works spanning more than a decade of making, from the monumental to the intimate.
