“Boule to Braid” is curated by sculptor Richard Wentworth, who is exhibiting two new works at “Making Worlds,” this year’s International Art Exhibition at the Venice Biennale. He has curated shows in collaboration with the Hayward Gallery and Artangel at King’s Cross. Wentworth describes “Boule to Braid” as a “‘companion,’ ‘glossary’ and ‘thesaurus.’ Something that you don’t seek, you discover.”

Lisson Gallery was founded by Nicholas Logsdail in 1967, and has continued, says Charles Saatchi, to support artists “with a radical and distinctive approach to the artistic possibilities of their times.” The nephew of writer Roald Dahl, Logsdail was dismissed from the Slade School of Art because he spent too much time organizing informal exhibitions of student work. Since then, more than 14 artists represented by his gallery have been nominated for Turner Prizes. “Boule to Braid” features many of the conceptual and minimalist artists whose first shows in the UK were hosted by the gallery. Works by Yoko Ono and Sol Lewitt are included in the show, as well as pieces by Ryan Gander, this year’s Turner Prize winner and an artist at the gallery.
