Anya Gallaccio: preserve
Turner Contemporary | Margate Anya Gallaccio: preserve is the largest survey exhibition to date of British artist Anya Gallaccio. The exhibition spans three decades of Gallaccio’s radical practice, restaging several iconic sculptures in addition to a new site-specific commission. It reveals the artist’s consistent rethinking of the relationship between art and the environment by presenting works that connect with Kent’s natural heritage. I photographed the exhibition every month it was open (September 2024 to January 2025) to document the changing nature of the artwork. It was fascinating to see the process of decay for some of the sculptures and how others evolved.
