SUNLIGHT
Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery
Castle Hill
Norwich, NR1 3JU
18 May - 22 September 2024
In May 2024 the first major survey of Roger Ackling, SUNLIGHT, will open at Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery. The exhibition will reveal the breadth of his practice, from his earliest experiments with a lens, to his final works made in the last months of his life.
Ackling is well known for his work on found driftwood, and SUNLIGHT expands this reputation to include lesser-known works, incorporating domestic wooden objects and tools as well as readymade elements such as elastic bands and mapping pins. The exhibition will also feature works on card and paper that have not yet been exhibited in the UK.
This exhibition aims to introduce Ackling's work to a new generation of audiences, prompting important conversations about the status of the object, the significance of the materials, the processes of making and the transformative power of display.
