Phyllida Barlow introduces Folly in Venice
Commissioned by the British Council for the British Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, Phyllida Barlow鈥檚 ambitious installation playfully challenges us to explore our own understanding of sculpture.
Her work inhabits the entire Pavilion, reaching up to the roof and even spilling outside. In the central gallery, she encourages us to take on the role of explorer, picking our way around a sculptural labyrinth of densely-packed towering columns.
Barlow, 73, was an art teacher for 40 years before retiring to focus on her sculpture full-time.
