TACITA DEAN

Frith Street Gallery
17 September - 6 November 2004

Frith Street Gallery is pleased to announce two exhibitions of recent work by Tacita Dean.

Tacita Dean's emergence in the 1990's as a young artist of great and growing stature has been recognised in widening circles in Europe and America, she is now one of the most celebrated artists of her generation and this is the first large scale presentation of her work in the UK since her exhibition at Tate Britain in 2001.

Dean's work addresses the process of plotting co-ordinates in space and time - she makes connections between past and present and fact and fiction. She draws out not only the objective world but also our inner world and traces the complex interface between the two. Her films depict locations and events that often seem out of time with the present state of things - she shows us relics of other times whose original meaning has been lost or obscured.
