JAMES STIRLING
"Notes from the Archive"
5 April – 21 August 2011
Free Entry
Exact opening dates TBC
It is eighteen years since James Stirling’s death, and he is long due a
retrospective exhibition. Given his close association with Tate, in the
form of the Clore Gallery and Tate Liverpool, Tate Britain is an
especially appropriate place to review his work. This exhibition,
curated by the renowned architectural writer Anthony Vidler, draws on
the Stirling archive held at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in
Montreal. It will be presented in the Clore Gallery, designed by
Stirling and opened in 1987. Unfashionable at the time, it, like its
designer, is the subject of renewed interest and appreciation. The
exhibition will cover the whole of Stirling’s career, from the iconic
Engineering Building of 1959 at Leicester University through to the late
1990s, including built and unbuilt projects, drawings, photographs and
furniture.
This exhibition is co-organized by the Canadian Centre for Architecture,
Montréal and the Yale Center for British Art, New Haven.
