A unique re-enactment of Barry Flanagan’s lost 1969 film the works will be performed by Assemble, the Turner Prize-winning collective, on 11 October 2024. Rediscovered last year, Flanagan’s original film will be screened in a continuous loop, whilst alongside it two performance artists will recreate the works over a two-hour period. Set in the historic House of Annetta, this durational performance reinterprets Flanagan’s exploration of materials, labour and transformation.

Barry Flanagan’s sand sculpture ringn ‘66, 1966, is now on now on display in A View from Tokyo: Between Man and Matter at Tate Modern. This group exhibition is part of the ‘Materials and Objects’ display and explores how sculptors working in Japan, Europe, and the United States in the 1970s inspired and influenced each other, using a diverse range of materials. Formed by pouring a hundredweight of sand onto the floor from a more or less fixed point above, the work testifies to Flanagan’s deep interest in sculptural processes and the ways in which materials determine a sculpture’s final appearance.
