In 1977, Tim Head was appointed the first artist fellow at Kettle’s Yard. More than thirty years later, this exhibition provides a welcome chance to catch up with his work. The exhibition brings together new work in digital media – on screen, projected or in print – and drawing, alongside photographic works made by Head during his fellowship at Kettle’s Yard in 1977-78. Connecting these early and recent works is Head's interest in the material substance of images and an insistence on the subjectivity of perception.
