ARTISTS INFORMATION

  • Annie Morris

    Artist
    British, b. 1978

    Annie Morris(b. 1978, London, United Kingdom)is a British artist who utilises tapestry, painting, and drawing in her work. Morris studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris under Giuseppe Penone before completing her education at the Slade School of Fine Art in London.

    Morris is best known for her “Stack” sculptures, which comprise colourful, irregularly shaped orbs arranged one atop another in vertical strings. The artist’s “Stacks” are made from plaster and cast bronze and are painted in vivid raw pigments such as ultramarine, viridian, and ochre. In this series, which was initiated during a period of grieving following a miscarriage, spheres appear to hover above the floor on plinths on which they rest, forever threatening to topple over—a nod to both the miracle of life and its precarity. In addition to her “Stack” series, Morris explores the feminine body in her drawing-like tapestries and linear figural sculptures, as well as in abstract paintings like her voluptuously gestural, allover “Face” series. These works signal the myriad ways of inhabiting the female body. Her work has been exhibited at the Fosun Foundation, Shanghai, China; Château La Coste, Provence, France; Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Yorkshire, UK. Morris’s work is in several public collections including Long Museum, Shanghai, China; Louis Vuitton Foundation, Paris, France; Shanghai, China; and University of Colorado Art Museum, Boulder, USA.

  • Idris Khan

    Artist
    British, b. 1978

    Idris Khan(b. 1978, Birmingham, United Kingdom)studied photography at the University of Derby and received an MA from the Royal College of Art. In 2017, he was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire.
    Working across photography, painting, and sculpture, Khan visualizes the accumulation of time and memory through strategies of repetition and dense layering, superimposing the same motifs, texts, and musical scores. In his early “every…” series, he overlays pre-existing images—ranging from Qur’anic pages to the photographic typologies developed by Bernd and Hilla Becher—to generate images that approach an essential form and the lineaments of collective memory, creating something entirely new through repetition and superimposition. His sculptural works, including 65,000 Photographs, print and stack vast numbers of photographs he took over several years on his mobile phone, giving material weight to intangible digital data and critically reflecting on our compulsion to record, as well as the shifting conditions of remembering in contemporary life.
    Khan created a monument in the UAE Memorial Park, Abu Dhabi, UAE in 2016, and held a major solo exhibition at the Milwaukee Art Museum, USA in 2024. His works are held in international museum collections including the British Museum, London, UK; the Centre Pompidou, Paris, France; and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, USA.
