KIENHOLZ

BALTIC presents a ground-breaking exhibition by Edward and Nancy Reddin Kienholz - the largest showing of Ed Kienholz work in the UK since 1971. This major exhibition presents large-scale sculptural works in the form of life-size environments, incorporating everyday objects that critique modern society, and the political climate of the day. Compelled by a deep sense of moral justice and a provocative sense of humour, these uncompromising creations continue to have a searing power and pose a direct challenge to the viewer.

This exhibition includes works created by Ed Kienholz from 1963, through the unique collaboration he established with Nancy Reddin Kienholz in 1972 until his death in 1994, and the works that Nancy continues to create. This exhibition is curated and organised by BALTIC in association with the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, with additional support from The Henry Moore Foundation.

The Kienholz’ exhibition appears at BALTIC courtesy of L.A Louver Gallery, Venice, California. A new publication on the work of Ed and Nancy Reddin Kienholz is being produced in conjunction with this exhibition, published by BALTIC in association with the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney.
