Langlands & Bell: Degrees of Truth
4 March 2020 – 3 January 2021
The work of artists Ben Langlands and Nikki Bell has long been concerned with the relationships that exist between people, objects and buildings. Across film, video, digital media, sculpture, installation, and full-scale architecture, they have consistently explored the ways we live and interact in a fast-changing technological world and how this is expressed in the structures we build and inhabit.
Langlands & Bell’s ideas and interests have much in common with Sir John Soane’s own conception of art and architecture, as manifested in his house-museum. This connection provides the starting point for this exhibition which is installed throughout the Museum in dialogue with Soane’s own collection and architecture. On display are works from across Langlands & Bell’s career, including several made especially for this exhibition.
