The Exhibition

This spring, Turner Contemporary will present Beyond Form: Lines of Abstraction, 1950-1970, a group exhibition presenting abstraction as a radical global language shared by women artists in the twenty years following World War II. Guest curated by Dr Flavia Frigeri, the exhibition will bring together the works of more than 50 artists to examine how, through abstract forms, materials and modes, women pushed the boundaries of artmaking while tackling seismic cultural, social and political shifts. Comprising over 80 artworks, predominantly sculpture, the exhibition will trace how the language of abstraction developed on a global scale.

This tour is delivered in British Sign Language by Jason Tennant without an interpreter or voiceover. During the tour, you will explore key artworks through informal conversation.

Jason is a Director at Palm Deaf Community Services where he teaches BSL and Deaf Awareness sessions, he is a Deaf Role Model and Mentor to Deaf people in the local community. Jason is part of the Turner Contemporary Access Group.
