Wittgenstein's Cage, 90 x 90 x 90cm, 2009

Throughout his career, Tom Phillips has woven together many diverse modes of practice, including painting, sculpture, text, music, photography, video, design, and site-specific sculptural installations. A new exhibition at Flowers Gallery gathers together a selection of works produced across five decades with particular focus on works in three dimensions, tracing the themes, systems and processes that have often corresponded and converged within Phillips’ durational projects. The exhibition marks Tom Phillips 80th birthday and celebrates his long association with Flowers Gallery where he first showed in 1970. A handsome catalogue, with an introductory text by Bill Packer accompanies the exhibition.

You are warmly invited to come and meet the artist at the Private View on Thursday 25th May 6pm - 8pm

Irma, digital print with silkscreen 2017

To celebrate the year of my eightieth birthday (in May) I am looking forward to two events. Firstly a show at Flowers Gallery called Connected Works which has its opening on the evening of 25th May (6-8pm).

My opera Irma will have the world premiere with two performances directed by Netia Jones at the South London Gallery on September 16th and 17th. This will be the first stageing of the complete version whose score and text I finished last year. I might even be given a small role in it myself…

Meanwhile I am busy reading over a hundred novels as one of the judges of this year’s Man Booker Prize.

Sounds enough to be going on with.
