SUMMARY:Bluecoat: Bluecoat: Tim Spooner: A New Kind of Animal
DESCRIPTION:\n\nFri 6th October 2023 - Sun 21 January 2024\n\nFree\n\n\n\n\
 nBluecoat is delighted to welcome an exhibition by critically acclaimed in
 terdisciplinary artist Tim Spooner this autumn.\n\nSpooner works across a 
 range of disciplines to create often unpredictable and distinctive work. I
 n A New Kind of Animal he brings an exciting new commission to the Bluec
 oat\, in the form of a host of furry\, quivering animatronic sculptures. O
 n display alongside this new commission will be an impressive body of Spoo
 ner’s previous work\, including over 190 works in collage\, painting\, s
 culpture and objects used in performances over the past 15 years.\n\nA New
  Kind of Animal is a national touring exhibition co-commissioned by South
 wark Park Galleries\, London and Bluecoat\, Liverpool.\n\nSpooner says “
 I’ve been looking back at a large quantity of existing work: shuffling\,
  filtering and reordering it\, looking for undercurrents and patterns. The
  resulting single\, long sequence of old work will serve as a blueprint fo
 r the new work at the Bluecoat\, a set of instructions for a new kind of a
 nimal.”\n\nSpooner’s idiosyncratic work uses materials and objects in 
 ways that reveal unexpected properties. As he has described: “I am inter
 ested in ways we try to explain the world: metaphysics and creation myths.
  My own approach to the mystery is to experiment with how materials behave
 \, to get a better understanding of them. From these I construct collectio
 ns of sculptures and objects which come together into ideas for possible u
 niverses.”\n\nAdam Smythe-Lewis\, Senior Curator at the Bluecoat\, says 
 “We are thrilled to welcome Tim Spooner and bring his compelling work to
  our gallery and to North West audiences. It has been wonderful to watch t
 he process as Tim’s intriguing ideas take shape in A New Kind of Animal
 \, and to work with Southwark Park Galleries on the development of this ne
 w commission.”\n\nThe exhibition runs at Southwark Park Galleries from 
 15 July - 24 September 2023 before opening at the Bluecoat on Friday 6th O
 ctober.\n\nThis touring commission is made possible with thanks to Arts Co
 uncil England and The Paul and Louise Cooke Endowment.\n\n
