Roderick Tye: The Human Presence

Roderick Tye: The Human Presence is a new exhibition at UCL Art Museum and the first major re-examination of the work of Roderick Tye (1959-2009), celebrated sculptor and UCL Slade tutor. Curated by fellow artists from the Slade School of Fine Art, The Human Presence is an experimental installation, combining Tye’s figurative sculptures and drawings with teaching samples from UCL’s pathology, anatomy and art collections, to consider his approach as part of a wider Slade ethos of looking, observing, and valuing culture in the making of art. ‘The Human Presence’ is a collaboration with UCL Art Museum, UCL Pathology Collections, and the Anatomy Laboratory (UCL Department of Cell and Developmental Biology), bringing together never before exhibited human tissue specimens and large-scale anatomical drawings by Charles Bell, UCL’s first Professor of Anatomy. The exhibition also offers a rare opportunity to see the products of Tye’s later passion for reviving Irish Fly fishing techniques, all in keeping with the theme of life and death and his intense belief in the sheer beauty of being alive. A programme of free public events accompanies the exhibition, for more information or to book please visit: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums/whats-on
