Space Shifters at Hayward Gallery

Prepared to have your senses warped as you visit the Space Shifters, the latest exhibition at the Hayward gallery. Its 50 years since the Hayward Gallery opened its doors, this year its latest exhibition features 20 artists spanning roughly 50 years of work to tie in with the 50th anniversary.

The installations explore the perception of space and many of the works are constructed from transparent materials like glass and polyester resins. As you move around the object you get different views, objects appear and disappear depending upon your perspective.

The exhibition opens on the 26th and runs till 6th January 2019 at the Hayward Gallery, Southbank Centre.

Below are some of the photos I took of the exhibition during the press preview, with lots more on my Flickr.
