Brickworks

Shown in Liverpool, a city known for its iconic brick warehouses and the first red brick university, Brickworks is a small display showcasing the transformative power of bricks in art.

Featuring sculpture, photography and works on paper from the Tate Collection, this show explores the many ways in which this material has been used to make art. Brickworks highlights how everyday materials can be transformed by artists to convey meaning and messages and can play an important role in our society.

The display brings together artworks including Kader Attia’s “Untitled” (Concrete Blocks) 2008, Philip Guston’s The Street 1970, Tamas St Auby’s Czechoslovak Radio 1968 1969, 2008, Sarah Lucas’ NUD CYCLADIC 6 2010, Saloua Raouda Choucair’s Poem Wall 1963-5 and sketchbooks by Donald Rodney from 1982–98.
