Running & Returning, a major solo exhibition by Jyll Bradley at The Box, Plymouth, is on view from 5 April 2025 - 2 November 2025.
Known for her large-scale public commissions such as The Hop (Hayward Gallery, 2022) and Green/Light (for M.R.) for the 2014 Folkestone Triennial, Running & Returning presents a new film and sculptural installations alongside works of historic significance. Seen together for the first time the exhibition reveals an intimate path of re-discovery and an invitation by the artist to enter her world. Bradley's work examines identity, urbanity, queerness and community through a minimalist aesthetic, a process she calls 'queering minimalism.' Light as both material and metaphor runs throughout her work in the exhibition which includes her recent award-winning photographi self-portrait installation Within a Budding Grove, she expanded from its original showing in Miami, U.S. Bradley was a pioneer of light box technology and the first British artist to use the light box. Her early light box installations are also on show in Running & Returning for the first time in 15 years.
Congratulations Jyll!
